The Infrastructure Manager is the brains and brawn of our festival. You will help create a very special event on the UK Folk Festival Map.

The folk festival will be on Saturday 4 July 2026 this year.

As our Infrastructure Manager you will be the person who organises your team to set up and set down the bones and flesh of the festival. This will be a role for someone practical and hands on, and who is good at coordinating logistics.

Your tasks will be varied; from organising parking arrangements, arranging a bar supplier, and putting up signage and lights - to risk assessment and emergency planning. You will also organising a small team of volunteers to erect marquees, and pick up the stage, and set up tables and chairs.

As Infrastructure Manager you will be a very valued member of our committee, and you will attend two-hour monthly committee meetings in Kimpton. We are a friendly group, all wanting to put on the best possible festival. The festival is attended by around 1000 people per year coming from locally and nationally. The atmosphere is always very special and sometimes electric! We hope you will join us. You will be most welcome!
