Get Involved

Should you wish to get involved in the running of the festival, the following are ways to do this:

Volunteer:

The best way to volunteer is to turn up at the festival and talk to a steward manning the information desk. You can be directed to the right person to discuss the opportunities available and any preferences you have, and can leave your contact details.

Become a Friend or Patron of the Festival

Newcastle Festival is run entirely by unpaid volunteers. However, items such as professional adjudicators and venue hire need to be paid for and entry fees only partly cover the costs. Please consider making a donation. Become a FRIEND for £15+ or Become a PATRON for £30+ Each time we print a new programme, we list the names of Friends and Patrons who have made donations during the previous 12 months. You will also be sent a free programme, giving you free admission to the next festival. If you wish to Gift Aid your donation...... please use the CONTACT US button to get touch with our treasurer.

Advertise or Sponsor
