Shaftesbury Fringe 2026 is our biggest year ever, with more than 330 performances over three days. Our performers have labelled us over the years as “Britain’s Friendliest Fringe”
As a non profit-making event run by a team of enthusiastic volunteers, in order for us to keep growing and improving, we need your help.
Become A Volunteer For Shaftesbury Fringe
Shaftesbury Fringe is only possible thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of our volunteers. As we wind up this year’s festival we will soon prepare for next year’s. Not right away (we need a lie down first!) but we’re always looking for friendly, reliable people who’d like to be part of something special.
Whether you can spare a few hours or take on a larger role, we’d love to hear from you. There are opportunities to help with event organization, communications, supporting performers, operations, logistics and much more.
Volunteering is a fantastic way to meet new people, learn new skills, support the local community, and experience “Britain’s Friendliest Fringe” from behind the scenes. It’s work but it’s fun!
Interested? We’d love to hear from you. If it looks like one or more of these is for you or you would like to help in any other way, please send a message, selecting the Get Involved option, and we’ll be in touch.
Every contribution makes a difference, and together we can make next year’s Shaftesbury Fringe even better again!
