Volunteer with us

The friendly lit fest by the sea needs you!

Weā€™re putting on our biggest festival yet from 19 to 22 October 2023. Weā€™re looking for volunteers to help ensure our events run smoothly, our authors love us and our audiences leave us wanting more.

Volunteering with us is a chance to meet great people, gain new skills and be part of an incredible multi-day event here in Margate ā€“ take a look at our bumper programme.

We already have a team of 25 wonderful volunteers, and weā€™d like even more to help with:

  • Venue set up and pack down

  • Front of house

  • Promotion

  • Ticketing and door

  • Author support

  • Ushers and access support

  • Room set up

  • Bookshop

  • Social media

In return for two four hour shifts, youā€™ll get free access to all our sessions with amazing authors, lunch and travel expenses. And maybe even a T-Shirt.

Fill out this short form and our volunteer manager Sarah will be in touch to discuss roles and availability with you.

Alternatively, email Sarah with your questions or to express your interest: volunteers@margatebookie.com
