Volunteers

Are you interested in being part of our team for the next Whitby Folk Week?

Applications to volunteer at Whitby Folk Week 26 are now open. You can sign up using this form.  Information about all our roles and what they involve can be found in this handbook

Whitby Folk Week depends on a large number of volunteers who give their time and energy without pay. We appreciate their efforts, indeed the success of the festival depends on them. In return for around 4-5 hours per day you will receive a ticket, including camping if required.

Am I eligible to apply?

You must be aged 16 by the 22nd Aug 2026.

If you are under 18 we will need written consent from your parent or guardian, and the roles you can volunteer for may be limited to the bigger venue teams. We will contact you separately regarding the written consent.

If you have any questions please contact whitby.stewards@gmail.com
