Every August Kilkenny plays host to Ireland’s longest-running arts festival, and it couldn’t happen without the efforts of our wonderful volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to experience the Festival and offers a unique opportunity to be part of this diverse, exciting and inspiring annual event.
Many of our volunteers are Festival legends, donating their time, energy and enthusiasm year after year. Others have found that working with us has enabled them to build valuable skills and experience, and inspired them to pursue careers or further study in the arts. All of them are valued members of the Festival family.
Volunteers are needed in several areas including stewarding, marketing, administration and driving. If you share our passion for the arts and would like to volunteer, please sign up below. We look forward to welcoming you to our team!
