Volunteering

Help us to make Keswick Film Festival a great success

Keswick Film Festival is run entirely by volunteers who give up their time to ensure everything runs smoothly and attendees have a great experience. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and support of our volunteers who have made the Festival a fantastic event for the last 25 years.

If you have some spare time and want to join the friendly team of volunteers we will be delighted to hear from you. We have many roles available including:

  • Festival promotion, including distribution of leaflets
  • Meet and greet festival-goers at all venues
  • Front of House including reception desks
  • Checking tickets and stewarding queues
  • Audience vote counting
  • Merchandise sales

If you want to help play a part in the continued success of the Festival, please get in touch by contacting:

Our Volunteer Co-ordinator via admin@keswickfilmfestival.org

Please tell us if there are roles you are interested in.

We will be updating this page with more specific information on the roles available soon.

We look forward to hearing from you and joining us to keep the Festival thriving.
