Volunteering at Celtic Connections

Musicians on a stage with multicoloured stage lights. The words Celtic Connections are displayed in the concert hall.

Our Festival Volunteers support the smooth running of Celtic Connections, by assisting festival staff and the wider festival community with errands and tasks, and by providing general festival information to artists and the public. We are grateful for the time, passion, skills and commitment our volunteers give to the festival, and welcome new and returning volunteers each year.

Eilidh's story

Celtic Connections Volunteer

"I've volunteered at Celtic Connections three times now, and definitely recommend it as an experience."

The most enjoyable thing about volunteering at this event is you get to meet so many fascinating people, see so much live music, and take part in one of the biggest citywide events of the year.
