Volunteering at the Beyond Borders International Festival
We are always looking for enthusiastic and friendly volunteers to help at the Beyond Borders International Festival! This year’s event is taking place on August 24th and 25th at Traquair House in the Scottish Borders and features a weekend of panel discussions and debates, music and theatrical performance, visual arts exhibitions, and film with authors, politicians, diplomats, and performers from all over the world.
Festival Volunteers are involved with all aspects of the event, including:
- Box Office and Front of House
- General assistance with event set-up and take-down
- Support with events management in our Festival marquees and performance and exhibition spaces
- Support in our Festival Green Room
Our volunteers often come back again and again, and some have gone on to carry out internships with us in later years. Please note that these are voluntary positions, but accommodation, local transport, and food are all provided. We usually ask that our volunteers be available from Thursday 22nd August – Monday 26th August if possible.
If you would like to volunteer at this year’s event, or for more information, please contact Projects & Festival Manager Emily Gifford on egifford@beyondbordersscotland.com
