Festival Volunteers

We are looking for Festival Volunteers to support the fantastic outdoor arts programmes at Journeys Festival International on 22 and 23 July and Re/action Festival on 26 and 27 August.

You will have the chance to join in both of our festivals and experience our events delivery from an exciting inside perspective.

Our two festivals will bring the streets of Leicester to life with world-class performances, installations, exhibitions and creative activities across the city centre and all for free. The programme at Journeys Festival International ranges from outdoor shows, circus, dance, hip-hop and disco bikes to paintings springing to life, virtual reality blending with live performance and an urban safari. At Re/action Festival, we will explore Creativity for the Climate with marvellous work by artists who address the climate emergency, share their skills, offer workshops in repurposing/reusing, and celebrate Leicester’s diversity.

No previous festival experience is required, but you will gain valuable skills and memories to build on.
