The Cambridge Beer Festival needs you!

The Cambridge Beer Festival is run entirely by unpaid volunteers who come from all walks of life and give up their valuable time to make the beer festival a success.

Basically, without our volunteers the beer festival would not go on. We have over 400 volunteers who work over the entire festival and it’s not just bar work that we need volunteers for.

As well as needing volunteers for the week the festival is open, we also need volunteers who can come along and help us to set everything up the week before the festival and once the festival has closed we need help taking everything down. If you feel you would like to help us in anyway, please complete the online volunteer form.

We are always in need of volunteers, even if you can only do one shift, it would help us tremendously. There are so many jobs that need doing on site. We need people to help us set up site, fencing, electricals, plumbing, setting up stands, setting up the bars, marquees, toilets, working on the front entrance, glasses, the bars, the cheese counter, litter pickers, and many many more jobs.

 Volunteer update:   we desperately need litter pickers to come in every morning and help with getting the site ready for opening.  If you are interested, please come along to the festival site during set up week from Monday 12th May to talk to us about volunteering.

We’d like to thank all the volunteers who have helped us in past, you are amazing!! Now come on and volunteer again, we’d love to see you.

Benefits of working are discounted beer, free food, a staff t-shirt and the chance to meet old friends and make new ones who all have at least one thing in common, a love of real ale.

To volunteer, please register on this site, then fill out the volunteer form on the user menu.  You must be over the age of 18 years to work at the festival.  Proof of age will be required!!
