We are excited to welcome the Tall Ships Races back to Aberdeen in July 2025. Hundreds of thousands of people will descend on the city for four days of celebrating, sharing culture, and international friendships at Europe’s largest free family event.
Hosting a successful Tall Ships Races provides a whole host of opportunities to get involved in a spectacular, world-famous event.
There will be a number of varied and exciting roles available. We would love to have a team of welcoming volunteers who are able to share their knowledge of Aberdeen with visitors and crews. Roles could include way finding, information points, meet and greet, as well as stage and site management support.
