Sŵn Volunteers cover a whole range of tasks and duties across the festival. These roles will be customer and artist facing and so we’re looking for confident, hardworking and friendly people to join our Sŵn Festival team.

Please ensure that you read up on our voluntary roles on our website before applying. Due to the sheer number of applications we get for Sŵn Festival Volunteers we will ask you to choose three voluntary roles in order of desirability. We will aim to place you within your first choice role if you are successful in your application but please be aware that this may not be the case.
