MCs
During Festival

The MCs team is key to the Folk Festival, introducing artists and making information announcements at venues. MCs are the public face of the Festival, working to create the mood of anticipation and connection for the show. You’ll be working closely with the Venue Management volunteers, sound technicians and artists to facilitate the smooth running of the venue.

Who

This team needs individuals who are confident, have good interpersonal and public speaking skills and are good at time management. Previous experience in this field will be highly regarded. (Any applicants studying in similar fields are encouraged to apply.)

When

The MCs team operates during the Festival, from the 2nd to 6th of April. The operational hours for MCs varies depending on the venue, but is generally between 10am-midnight. Volunteers for this team are required to complete 20 hours of work.

How

All volunteers are required to complete online induction and training that will be available prior to the festival dates. Face-to-face training requirements will be advised by your Team Coordinator once you are confirmed as part of a team
