About this Event

Are you part of a local charity, community group, or social enterprise in Norfolk seeking new volunteers? This is your opportunity to showcase your work and connect with potential volunteers!

Join us for the Volunteer Extravaganza 2026—a celebration of volunteering! This isn’t just another volunteering fair; it's a vibrant and interactive event inviting the public to learn about your organisation and explore how they can contribute.

We're inviting voluntary groups from across Norfolk to set up stalls or "activity spaces" to demonstrate the incredible work you're doing. If you're unsure what you might present, don't worry—let your creativity shine! Whether you're planning hands-on activities or sharing inspiring stories, we'll encourage you to make your stall a fun and engaging experience.

Potential activity ideas include:

  • Knitting, sewing or mending
  • Arts and crafts
  • Gardening, composting or outdoor activities
  • Games, puzzles, or Lego
  • Demonstrating the specific activities your volunteers do
  • Current volunteers talking about their experiences

We know not every organisation has hands-on volunteer roles they can easily demonstrate, such as those in befriending, health, or sports. We invite you to think creatively about how to engage with attendees and spark conversations about the important work you do.

To help you prepare, we’ll host an informal meeting where you can discuss ideas and ask any questions—so even if you're unsure, we’re here to help!

Before the Extravaganza begins, we invite stallholders to join us for a drop in "Breakfast Mingle" with refreshments provided. A chance to grab a drink and a pastry and connect with other organisations before the event opens at 10am.

How to Participate:
To secure your stall, simply book your place here. A fee of £35+VAT is required to help cover promotional and venue costs and to ensure attendance. A credit or debit card will be needed for payment through Eventbrite.

If you’d like to have a smaller stall or want to attend for a shorter duration, why not partner up with another local organisation and share the stall during the day?

Questions?
Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. We're happy to help!

This event is supported by Voluntary Norfolk & the Empowering Communities partnership.
