Volunteering with Liverpool Irish Festival requires great interpersonal skills and loads of common sense. You’ll be working with a range of people, venue staff, the public, artists, reporters and – of course – other volunteers. You’re a ‘Festival Face’, so we encourage you to be friendly, polite, warm and welcoming.

Your primary role will be to make sure that members of the public are safe and set pieces are secure. You’ll be available to supply information regarding the exhibition/event you are assigned to and share information about the Festival. You’ll answer questions, to the best of your ability, and if answers are not known to you, you’ll direct visitors to venue or Festival staff, being generally helpful and polite. You may be asked to count audiences for our data collection and/or support audience members to fill out our audience surveys. The role may involve some liaising with visitors, with in-house teams at venues and with our artists.

Most of all, you'll have a welcoming, warm, open, common-sense approach to your role.
