Volunteering

Each year we take on an army of friendly volunteers to help run Craft Festival Cheltenham. If you'd like to volunteer, we'd love to hear from you.  

There are a variety of roles. You can help give visitors information at the event, sell tickets at the box office, assist our children's activities, help set up the event to meet and greet the makers as they arrive. It's a great opportunity for you to get involved, get real hands on experience and support the craft community.
