Volunteer for GAP Festival

Karen Neville

Julia Horne asks if you can help volunteer at the GAP Festival in June 2026

For those new to the local area, The GAP Festival is an arts and cultural festival hosted every other year, for the local community in venues across Goring and Streatley. 

Next year will be the sixth GAP Festival to take place, and if you haven’t yet experienced it for yourself, it is one of the greatest highlights in the local calendar. 

The GAP Festival is a charity, completely run by volunteers – people like you – all of whom are passionate about creating the gift of a local festival for all to enjoy. But we can only make it happen with your help. We need fresh thinking and ideas. Are you are an organised person, great at building rapport and relationships with people, enjoy writing, or have a passion for the arts, then we need you! 

Could you help us with…? 

• Running an event with support from the wider team  

• Finding sponsors to keep Festival events affordable and accessible to all 

• Coordinating a range of ‘art’ workshops and events hosted by local groups/artists 

• Guiding volunteers in health and safety requirements 

• Posting on our social media channels 

• Collating the content for our Festival brochure 

• Writing articles and press releases for local publications and media outlets 

All are flexible as regards time involved, so if you are worried about committing please do get in touch and talk to the team. Find out more at thegapfestival.org/volunteer or get in touch at help@gapfestival.org for a no-obligation chat.
