Volunteer With Us!
The Trailing of the Sheep Festival not only offers unforgettable and extraordinary festivities, but fun volunteer opportunities! Join the flock of amazing volunteers for the 2024 Festival. It is not just an opportunity to be a part of a fantastic celebration, but a chance to make a lasting impact as a vital member of our team.
As a volunteer, you will be part of the action - greeting guests, taking tickets, ushering and hosting presenters and performers, assisting at Headquarters, and helping out at the Folklife Fair and Sheepdog Trials. But it is not all work and no play! The Festival's spirit is contagious, and we know you will be spreading your enthusiasm to everyone around you.
We could not produce the Festival without our dedicated volunteers, and we are proud to have a team of over 200 strong. Thank you for helping us keep our rich history alive and thriving. We invite you to sign-up, celebrate and create memories with us!
If you have any questions, please contact Geegee at volunteers@trailingofthesheep.org.
