Volunteering & Ambassadors

Ambassadors
The Autumn Festival of Norfolk is pleased to launch our Ambassador Initiative, which offers individuals the opportunity to become an integral part of the festival’s success. Ambassadors can donate anywhere between £250 to £3,000 annually. We also encourage Ambassadors to bring paying guests to festival events, champion the festival’s vision, or engage in programme activities. Ambassadors will be listed in alphabetical order in our festival brochure and on our website, and they will be profiled alongside our distinguished Festival patrons. In recognition of their support, Ambassadors will receive invitations to our launch and gala nights, as well as complimentary seats to select festival events, as well as priority booking. By joining the Ambassador Initiative, individuals can help us develop visibility and sustainability for the festival, ensuring that we can continue to bring outstanding cultural events to Norfolk for years to come.
