Welcome to Newcastle City Council’s Cultural Events Team Volunteering Page!
Newcastle City Council's new Cultural Events Team delivers a programme of ambitious, large-scale festivals and events throughout the year. There will be regular opportunities to support and get involved in our programme as a volunteer.
We are currently looking for volunteers for NOVUM Festival and Dominoes.
NOVUM Summer Festival Volunteer Opportunities
From 7–9 August, Newcastle city centre will become one giant playground as NOVUM takes over with three days of performance, music, creativity, colour, joyful chaos and community celebrations.
To find out more about NOVUM, please visit the website.
At the heart of the festival are our VOLUNTEERS who will play a big part in the festival, helping people feel welcome and get the most out of the weekend.
With a mix of roles and flexible ways to take part, there are plenty of ways to get involved – and we want to thank you for your time and energy in helping us bring the city to life this summer.

Our Mission
Newcastle City Council’s Cultural Events Team is delivering an ambitious 10-year Cultural Events Programme, transforming Newcastle into one of the UK’s leading cultural destinations by bringing unforgettable experiences to life for residents and visitors alike.
Our role is not only to deliver, but to enable, unlocking the potential of artists, communities, partners and businesses, and connecting culture to place, economy, health and wellbeing. As placemakers, we use culture to animate spaces, strengthen identity and bring people together, creating the conditions for culture to thrive, where people are empowered as active participants, not passive audiences.
From neighbourhood projects to city-defining moments, we create event experiences and engagement projects that leave a lasting impact on artists, communities and audiences, shaping Newcastle’s future as a vibrant, inclusive and culturally ambitious city.
