Volunteer Fair 2026

Exeter Volunteer Fair Returns to Exeter Cathedral This April.

We are delighted to announce the return of the Exeter Volunteer Fair, taking place on Thursday 23 April 2026, 11am–2pm at Exeter Cathedral.

The free to attend, drop-in event will bring together over 65 local charities and community organisations, offering residents and local people the chance to explore hundreds of volunteering opportunities in one place. With over 700 people expected to attend, the fair is the largest volunteering event of its kind in Exeter.

Whether people have a few hours to spare or are looking for longer-term roles, the Volunteer Fair helps match skills, interests and availability with local causes.

Ellie Taylor CEO for Exeter Community Initiatives said: “Volunteering is a powerful way to connect with your community. This fair makes it easy for people to find opportunities that fit their lives and passions.”

The event is open to everyone and no prior experience is needed.

Visitors can drop in at any time during the event, if you would like to book a ticket and find out more about the organisations attending please click here.
