Volunteer

Festivals don’t just happen – they’re created by people who believe in them. Come and help your festival.

Be part of something bigger. Meet new people, learn new skills, make lasting memories, and help bring your festival to life.

Every year, the City of Derry International Choir Festival is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers whose enthusiasm, warmth and commitment help create a memorable experience for thousands of singers and visitors from around the world. Quite simply, the festival could not happen without them.

There are two main volunteer teams: those who support our concerts and competitive programmes, and those who help deliver our extensive community programme across Derry, Strabane and Donegal.

Volunteer roles are varied and rewarding, and may include stewarding and ushering audiences, selling programmes and merchandise, welcoming choirs and guests, guiding visiting groups around the city, and helping to ensure the smooth running of festival events and performances.

Whether you can spare a few hours or several days, your support will make a real difference and help showcase the very best of our region to the world.

If you would like to be part of this year’s festival team, please complete the short form below and let us know your availability. We would love to have you involved.
