Volunteering
Stewarding
Want to help us by stewarding?
Stewarding applications are not open yet
Typically, stewards work either 4 or 8 hours over the festival, in exchange for a half price or free ticket. Stewards also get a free t-shirt. Stewarding is a great way to experience the festival and meet people.
We’re exploring a variety of ways to make stewarding more accessible, including allowing signups with friends and allowing shorter shifts – if you have any thoughts about this, please contact us!
More information will be released closer to the event.
Workshops
Anyone with a skill or idea they want to share is encouraged to sign up. There’s no pressure to have done it before – jumping in the deep end and giving it a go is what IVFDF is about!
There will be a form to complete if you would like to volunteer closer to the event.
If you’re interested in playing music for a workshop but you don’t know how to find a workshop leader to work with there will be a separate form.
We usually give one free ticket per workshop run. For musicians, in most cases you will need to play for minimum 2 workshops to get a free ticket. (There are exceptions to this for workshops that are particularly musically demanding.)
Other ways to get involved
We are also especially looking for people who can offer any of the following services, so please get in touch if you can help!
– Accessible crash space/spare bed for disabled attendees (if you live in Sheffield)
– Stewards with BSL knowledge, or anyone who would be willing to offer in-dance BSL interpretation
– Photographers willing to take photos!
Morris Tour
IVFDF usually host a Morris tour each year, with dancers visiting various sites in the city to dance, drink and play! This usually takes place on the Saturday afternoon of the festival. If your Morris side is interested in dancing on the tour the don’t hesitate to get in touch!
We also welcome displays from Morris sides in the Display Ceilidh, and if your feet haven’t fallen off yet your Morris side could run a workshop too!
