Volunteer with us
The friendly lit fest by the sea needs you!
Our volunteers 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.
Our volunteer pool numbers over 50 people. Join us!
We already have a team of more than 50 wonderful volunteers, and we’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
In return for one four hour shift, you’ll get free access to all our sessions with amazing authors, lunch and travel expenses. And maybe even a T-shirt.
