Volunteer

We will be recruiting volunteers to provide support in different areas in the lead up to and during the next festival weekend (dates TBC).

A two-day festival spread across the Tramway and the Hidden Gardens, Sufi Festival opens a door into the art and culture of Sufism, from music, poetry and theatre, to arts and crafts, storytelling, and ritual ceremonies of devotion. There will also be a host of talks by leading academics and Sufi scholars about the history, ideas, and relevance of Sufism in the world today, and exhibitions of Islamic art.

We will hold workshops for festival-goers to get hands-on in the craft of Sufi art, poetry and calligraphy. Spellbinding tales will be recounted by storytellers, poets will read verse to transport the soul, and untold spiritual dimensions of sound will be uncovered by world-class musicians, while guests will be treated to a bazaar selling traditional handicrafts and of course, food and drink from across the Islamic world.

The Sufi Festival welcomes all people of all ages, abilities, faiths, ethnicities, gender identities and mindsets to come and share in an authentic experience of Sufism organised by practising Sufis. Sufi Festival is a cultural experience of Islamic art, culture and heritage in the heart of Scotland’s most diverse and multicultural community in the heart of Glasgow’s Southside.

Come join us as a volunteer and be part of the team responsible for delivering the next festival!

The types of opportunities on offer will be wide and varied and will cover areas such as:

Team Leaders, PR, Box Office Assistants, Stewards, Runners, Artist Liaison Assistants, Crew Catering Assistants, Stage Hands, Production Office Assistants, Decor Crew, Set up & take-down crew.
