Newcastle Cultural Events Team would like to recruit volunteers for Enchanted City at the Market, a special programme of performances, creative activities and participatory experiences taking place within Newcastle Christmas Market on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 November 2026.

Enchanted City is Newcastle’s emerging flagship winter cultural event, transforming the city after dark through immersive artistic experiences that bring together artists, communities and audiences.

Following a successful pilot in 2025, the event is taking a development year in 2026/27, with activity designed to keep Enchanted City visible, inspire new audiences and build excitement ahead of the festival’s return in autumn/winter 2027.

As a volunteer, you'll play a key role in welcoming visitors and helping people discover the programme in the city centre. 


  • Volunteers will help direct audiences to activity during the event,
  • support the delivery of workshops,
  • provide information about what’s happening,
  • and encourage people to learn more about Enchanted City. 
  • You'll also help us to build awareness for Enchanted City by promoting our mailing list and social media channels, sharing information about future opportunities to get involved, and helping build anticipation for the return of a larger-scale Enchanted City in 2027.

If you would like to Volunteer over the two days please complete the following form:

We will host an online briefing session in advance and invite all volunteers to attend nearer the time.


What skills do I need?

  • Enthusiasm and a smile.
  • A can-do attitude.
  • Responsibility and reliability.
  • An interest in the arts and outdoor events.
  • Over 18
