Volunteers

Ever thought about combining your love for a good pint with the joy of giving back to the community? Well, look no further than the Bradford Beer & Cider Festival!

Imagine being surrounded by barrels of the finest brews, learning the difference between a stout and a porter, or why cider is the superior apple product. You’ll leave with enough knowledge to impress even the snobbiest of beer aficionados.

Volunteering at the festival is like joining a secret club where the password is “Cheers!” You’ll meet people who share your passion for hops and barley, and who knows, you might even find your new drinking buddy.

As a volunteer, you get free entry to the festival. That’s right, you can enjoy the event without spending a dime. Plus, there are usually* some extra perks like a free t-shirt and the occasional free pint. Who doesn’t love free stuff?

The Bradford Beer & Cider Festival is a major event, and you can be part of the magic that makes it happen. From setting up the stalls to serving the drinks, your contribution is what makes the festival a success.

Let’s be honest, volunteering at a beer festival is just plain fun. You’ll be in a lively atmosphere, surrounded by happy people, and there’s always something to laugh about. Plus, you get to wear those cool volunteer badges.

The Bradford Beer and Cider Festival can’t exist without its army of volunteers. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or never volunteered at a festival before, all are welcome. You can hit things with a hammer or pour pints. Come and join us (you can’t hit pints with a hammer though).

*Free stuff not guaranteed

Join Us!

Don't miss out on this fantastic event! Whether you're here for the beer, the cider, or the great company, the Bradford Beer & Cider Festival 2025 promises a memorable experience for all.
