Volunteer Roles

Volunteers will be asked to fill a number of roles, from street ambassadors, assisting at competitions, being part of our Green Fleadh by helping to keep our streets clean, volunteering at concerts, car parking, providing information, photography and many other roles.

The minimum commitment is a 4 hour shift and shifts vary depending on the role.  With volunteers needed throughout the day and night, there is a role and shift time to suit everyone. You can volunteer to just do one shift or as many as you like, it’s up to you.

 We will be grateful for whatever time you can spare to help. We need help for the whole week of the Fleadh from Sunday 3rd to Monday 11th August and we will need the biggest number of volunteers on the days of the competitions which take place from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th August 2025. 

Volunteers must be over 15 years old. If a volunteer is under 18 years old, parental consent is required.
