Volunteering at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival (NNF)

We are always looking for great volunteers to join our team, both during the run-up to and throughout the Festival (NNF10 runs from 7-22 May). We recruit volunteer Office Assistants and volunteer Event Assistants.

Whether you are young or old, there are many aspects of the Festival organisation that you can get involved in as an Office Assistant, including administrative support, publicity distribution and event production.

Event Assistants are recruited from late autumn to work during the Festival each year in May to support the delivery of our events. As an Event Assistant you can choose to work in a number of roles for as little or as much time as you are able to offer. Roles include: event stewarding, invigilating, crowd control, crew support, selling programme books, front of house support, assisting our Event Managers and much more…
