Our small team depends on volunteers to help us deliver Open House Festival events, by assisting with ticketing, seating, event set-up, litter picking, and many other vital duties. They help to create a happy, welcoming environment and carry out their responsibilities with pride and huge smiles on their faces.
If you’re at an Open House event this summer, you will see our volunteers wearing their 2025 t-shirts and hi-vis jackets. Say hello, give them a thumbs up, ask them for assistance if you need it. They’ll do their best to help.
