Volunteer with us

The Jane Austen Festival relies on a team of wonderful volunteers to help set up and steward events throughout the ten days of the Festival.

These volunteers work hard in all sorts of capacities: welcoming guests, checking tickets, helping our speakers and performers set up equipment and staging, moving furniture, accompanying walking tours, taking photos and all-round helping our Festival visitors make wonderful memories. The Festival simply wouldn't happen without the wonderful volunteer stewards.

If you would like to be considered for the 2025 Jane Austen festival, are over 18, can supply your own Regency costume, (stewards must be in Regency costume), speak English to a good level, and understand the currency, please complete the application form when it becomes available very soon.

For the 2025 Jane Austen Festival we are particularly looking to hear from people who have attended the Jane Austen Festival before, as we are expecting a busy bumper year for visitors in September 2025! When filling out the application form you will be asked to note which days you can or cannot volunteer for, generally we look for 10 day availability, or weekend only volunteers. 

Applicants for the 2025 September festival must be able to work full days over the first weekend (12th to 14th September 2025).

What previous volunteers said about the Festival

"Stewarding the Jane Austen Festival has become a highlight of my year, and something I look forward to time and time again. It’s not just the amazing events and costumes that keep me coming back, it’s also the people – the friends I have made here, and the feeling of being part of a warm, supportive, silly, but efficient and trusting ‘family’."
Amy

"Stewarding the festival was so much fun! I met some wonderful people and was made to feel so welcome, despite being the only man on the team! Would definitely do it again."
Paul
