WRITING MAY BE RUNNING THROUGH YOUR VEINS BUT VOLUNTEERING WILL BECOME YOUR BEATING HEART This is a story you want to be involved in – don’t just leaf through its pages be its lead character this November 6th - 10th!
In our third year at The Printworks, Dublin Castle, as we celebrate the many forms that literature finds itself these days, we are once again opening our doors to welcome volunteers, book enthusiasts and festival goers back to help out at this annual staple in the literary and publishing world. Write you own narrative this November and help celebrate the written, spoken, journeyed and drawn word around the city.
The 19th Dublin Book Festival (Nov 6th -10th) relies on the dedication and generosity of volunteers supporting our events. From walking tours to lively discussions, heritage establishments to contemporary venues, we have something for everyone. From early learners to events after dark, there is a volunteering interest in there somewhere for you, you just need to turn the page of life and find your twist. We are grateful for the vital support of our many volunteers, without whom the Festival would not happen.
Roles:
- Festival ambassadors at our launches, receptions and panel discussions
- Stewarding and ushering at our walking tours, spoken word and call to arms provocations about the city,
- Manning the Welcome Desk, Box Office or the Creative Corner at our Festival Family Hub

Our volunteers are the spine that holds this festival book together. Join our family library of volunteers – who knows the places this tale will take you.
