Volunteer with us

Volunteering at the Petworth Festival is about being part of an arts-loving community and working together to bring high-quality music, literary, and other arts events to Petworth and the surrounding area. Volunteering with us is rewarding, sociable and, most importantly, fun.

We welcome volunteers from all walks of life and strive to ensure inclusivity. People volunteer for many reasons: to support the arts, meet new people, gain experience, or share their knowledge and expertise.

We are expanding opportunities to volunteer with the Petworth Festival and hope you will find a role that complements your skills and availability — or perhaps gives you the chance to try something completely new. We believe volunteering should be both enjoyable and rewarding.

Previous festival experience isn’t required - just enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to be part of a great team.
