Dunster Festival 2026

Each year, Dunster Festival — a registered charity dedicated to sharing world-class music with our community — brings together outstanding musicians and enthusiastic audiences for a weekend of inspiring performances in the stunning medieval village of Dunster. Our volunteers are at the heart of it all; your energy and commitment help create an unforgettable experience for everyone involved and the Festival would not happen without you!

We’re looking for volunteers to help with:

• Front-of-house and audience welcome
• Bar work
• Serving teas and coffees
• Event setup and logistics
• Ticketing
• Manning stands (eg raffle/kids activities) at our Fete
• Driving musicians from Taunton Station to Dunster

Why volunteer?

• Become part of the Dunster Festival family — meet new people, make friends, and share the joy of live music with a welcoming community
• Gain hands-on experience in arts and event management
• Get involved as much or as little as you like — whether you can offer a few hours or the whole weekend, every bit of help makes a difference
• Enjoy complimentary access to performances
• Receive a volunteer certificate and reference upon request
• Support a local charity that brings music, inspiration, and connection to people of all ages

No prior experience is needed — just your enthusiasm!
