Volunteers

Apply to volunteer at Kendal Mountain Festival 2026

Each year, we recognise that a major part of the Festival’s success is down to the wonderful team of volunteers! The volunteers who graciously invest their time to ensure over 25,000 Festival-goers have an amazing experience.

Over the 4-days, Festival volunteers become an extended part of the Kendal Mountain family. The face of the Festival; supporting, helping, and guiding all of the Festival visitors and guests.

We do hope in return that all of our volunteers have fun over the weekend, continue to be inspired by the great outdoors, and share and experience the magic that keeps them coming back each year! 

If you have any questions, please email kendalmountainvolunteers@gmail.com.

Join the team!

Volunteering with Kendal Mountain Festival Thursday 19th - Sunday 22nd November 2026

If you are available between 19th - 22nd November 2026 and are interested in volunteering for the 2026 Kendal Mountain Festival, please register your interest.

To volunteer at the 2026 Festival, we ask that you are able to commit to a minimum of three shifts between Thursday 19th - Sunday 22nd. This will be a mixture of daytime and evening shifts and will vary depending on the programme/venue. Overall commitment over the weekend may be up to around 20-22 hours.

Please be assured that we work together to create the rotas, and when these are being finalised in October, we will work with you to ensure the shifts offered work best for you. Due to the size of the volunteer group, unfortunately we are unable to offer accommodation over the Festival weekend.

Thank you for your interest in joining the 2026 Festival.
