Join the Richmond Mayfest Volunteer Team!
Every May Bank Holiday weekend, Richmond’s Market Place, cobbled streets, and historic venues come alive with folk music, Morris dancing, and thousands of visitors. To keep the festival running smoothly, we are looking for friendly, reliable volunteers to join our team over the three day weekend.
No previous experience is needed—just a warm welcome and a willingness to get stuck in. Whether you can spare a couple of hours for a single shift or want to help out across the whole weekend, your time makes a massive difference.
How you can help:
Event Stewarding: Be the welcoming face of Mayfest—help manage crowds safely around our outdoor dance spots, direct visitors, and assist performers and venues.
Stall & Information Support: Help out on the festival stalls in the Market Place, answering visitor questions, selling programmes, and sharing what’s on across town.
Why volunteer? It’s a brilliant way to meet new people, be right at the heart of the festival atmosphere, and help keep one of Richmond’s best-loved community traditions thriving.
