JQ Festival Volunteers

We’re looking for volunteers to help support the JQ Festival on Saturday 11 July, helping with set-up, welcoming visitors, guiding people around the area and general event support.

About The Role

The JQ Festival is back, bringing a full day of activity, entertainment and celebration to the Jewellery Quarter. The festival showcases the neighbourhood’s independent spirit, creativity, heritage and culture, with live music, food and drink, guided tours and special events taking place across the area.

We’re looking for friendly, practical volunteers to help make the day run smoothly. This is a great opportunity to support the Jewellery Quarter community, meet new people and be part of one of Birmingham’s most exciting local events.

Volunteer roles may include helping with event set-up and pack-down, welcoming visitors, guiding people between festival locations, answering basic questions, and supporting the event team throughout the day.

You do not need previous event experience. We’re looking for people who are reliable, approachable and happy to get stuck in. Whether you can help for part of the day or stay longer, your support will make a real difference.

What you’ll be doing

  • Helping with event set-up and pack-down
  • Welcoming visitors to the festival
  • Guiding people around the Jewellery Quarter
  • Supporting activity across key festival locations
  • Helping the event team with general tasks on the day
  • Being a friendly face for residents, visitors and local businesses

Time commitment

The main volunteering day is Saturday 11 July. Exact shift times will be confirmed with volunteers closer to the event.

Eligibility

Volunteer roles are open to anyone over 18.
