Help make Abbotsbury 2026 happen! We are on the lookout for adult volunteers who can join us to create an excellent experience for our first festival.
Volunteers are at the heart of every event at Tree of Strings: welcoming audiences and artists and helping with event production.
Volunteering is flexible, rewarding and a fantastic way to meet new people, while supporting local music.Â
Help to shape a fresh, adventurous music festival from the very start.
Give emerging soloists and ensembles the stage they deserve, while experiencing the performance for free.
Meet artists, audiences and neighbours who care about live music as much as you do.
We’re building a festival team, with roles to suit different skills and schedules.Â
Working with the Producer and Event Manager to welcome artists and support any needs as they arise.
Helping to set up and clear up the venues before and after concerts.
Tell us what you’re interested in and we’ll find the right fit.
Most roles will be in shifts of around four hours, but there is a chance to take on longer shifts, working across multiple roles. Tell us what your schedule is like and we’ll match you with something that works.
Not at all. Some volunteers love music and play themselves, others enjoy being part of a welcoming team. The main things we look for are reliability, kindness and enthusiasm.
The roles are onsite in Abbotsbury, in the different concert venues and parking areas.Â
At the start of each shift there will be time for a short briefing, to go over your role and familiarise you with the site and any important safety information.
Yes. We want volunteering to be as inclusive as possible. If you share any access needs or questions on the form, we’ll do our best to find a role and setting that feels comfortable for you.
If you are asked to work more than a four-hour shift, and over the lunch/dinner period, a packed lunch/dinner will be provided. Details vary by task and time, so we’ll explain what’s available when we get in touch about specific opportunities.Â
If you are interested in taking part in this opportunity, please complete the following short form by 15 May.
 If you have any questions, or would like to complete the form in another format, please email us at info@treeofstrings.org.
