WE are unable to accept any  applications  until after the 2024 Festival has been delivered.   

Volunteer today...

The Guildford Book Festival has been an annual event in the town for over 35 years and brings together established writers and debut novelists, celebrity names and local authors, for fourteen days of outstanding conversation and lively debate. 

We have an amazing team of dedicated Volunteers that give vital support to the Festival every year. The team help with a wide range of activities such as supporting the Festival Director, setting up and stewarding at events, checking tickets and helping with Q&A’s.

Volunteers are also needed to staff the Green Room and drive speakers between the stations and venues.

As a volunteer, you will be part of a fantastic local charity, you’ll get to meet like-minded people, see some wonderful events and it always looks great on a CV.

We are no longer taking on any new volunteers for this year’s Festival but do get in touch with us after the Festival if you wish to join the team.
