Volunteer Update

We have almost filled our volunteer roles for Beyond the Border Festival 2023.  We will be closing applications at the end of March.

We may have some limited opportunities for specific roles that we may open between now and the festival

We’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic people looking for an exciting challenge as we work together to deliver our first full festival at our new site at National Trust Dinefwr in Llandeilo.

If you’re interested in being part of the team that transports it’s audiences into the magical world of storytelling at Dinefwr we have roles available that require different levels of skills and experience. The main quality we’re looking for is excitement to be part of the team that delivers Beyond the Border – Wales’ International Storytelling Festival in 2023.

Volunteers will receive a weekend pass to the festival, free campsite pitch and food tokens.

Volunteers will typically be allocated 3 shifts of between 3-5 hours in length over the weekend.

If there is a particular area of delivering a festival which interests you, marketing or box office, technical or design, site management or artist liaison, we also have lots of volunteer roles available that offer a chance to develop skills in working at a festival. We are also very happy to talk about chances to work as part of our core team in the build to the festival to
gain experience and training specific to working on the largest storytelling festival in Wales and the UK.

Beyond the Border is the UK’s biggest storytelling festival, and to celebrate 30 years we will be bringing the best Wales, UK and international storytellers and artists to Carmarthenshire.

Where and when?
Beyond the Border moved its home from St Donats, Vale of Glamorgan to National Trust Dinefwr in 2021 and 2023 will be its first full festival.

We will be weaving our magical festival amongst the landscape, buildings, castle and woodlands full of stories, performances, and live music for adults, young people and their families. We are planning to have over 3,000 visitors to the site from 7th – 9th July 2023.

How can we get involved?
We are keen to work with local businesses, organisations and groups across a range of activities in the run in, during and after the festival.
