Volunteering at the air tattoo
There are many reasons why someone might decide to become a volunteer at RIAT.
Not only is it fun and hugely rewarding, but it also offers opportunities to make new friends, learn new skills and apply existing ones, whilst supporting a great cause, the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust (RAFCT).
AT RIAT, there's no such thing as a stereotypical volunteer. As one of the leading, international aviation events, our 1250+ volunteers are as diverse as the many aircraft that join us from around the world each year. Whoever you are and whatever your background, we believe we have a rewarding volunteer role to suit you.
We find that many of our volunteers return year on year, however any vacancies we may have are listed here (coming soon).
If you would like to apply to volunteer at RIAT, please complete our application form (coming soon).
To be eligible to volunteer you must be 18 years old or above and we ask that you are available as a minimum for all show days (19th - 21st July).
Once your application form has been sent to a Team Manager for interview, you will be contacted via the email address or telephone number provided at application stage.
Should your application be successful, you will be notified and invited to complete a registration at a later date.
If you have any more questions at this stage, please refer to our list of frequently asked questions (FAQs).

Just loved it. Hard work but giggled every day.
Great leadership and direction given. Loved working alongside my supervisors.
It was my first time as a volunteer and it was a great experience with a fantastic and professional team, I worked at fuels on base for 5 years and this was a nice change.
Another excellent show, I would like to thank all the full time staff for their hard work, giving us the opportunity to help out at such an amazing event.
Absolutely loved my role in MLG. It was a challenge but really enjoyed it.
You're doing a great job! Proud to be part of the big team! Thanks.
I feel RAFCTE value all volunteers. An excellent charity and an honour to volunteer with them.
My Team Manager gave sincere and genuine thanks to all the team members, which was appreciated.
Amazing as always!!!
I love volunteering at the show and we had a really great team this year.
Loved every minute! This was my first year and hopefully not the last. The teamwork was amazing with high spirits keeping the energy positive. I felt proud to be part of this event and left feeling somewhat lifted! Not so much now, I miss it :(
Thank you for letting me participate! Looking into the world of military aviation was a fantastic experience for me.
