Volunteer at Capital Sci-Fi Con and Be Part of Something Extraordinary!

WAITING LIST: if the shift you would like is full, please email capitalscifi@chas.org.uk to be added to the waiting list.

Capital Sci-Fi Con is returning to Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange for its 11th year - and we’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make this unforgettable weekend run smoothly. Whether you're a lifelong fan of sci-fi and pop culture or simply love being part of a vibrant, community-driven event, this is your chance to get involved behind the scenes.

From incredible props and immersive displays to celebrity guests and family-friendly activities, Capital Sci-Fi Con brings together thousands of fans to celebrate the worlds they love. But it’s not just about fandom - it’s about making a real difference. Together, we’ve raised over £480,000 for children and families in Scotland, and 2026 is set to be our biggest year yet.

As a volunteer, you’ll:

  • Help create a welcoming and exciting experience for attendees
  • Work alongside a friendly team of fellow volunteers and event staff
  • Gain valuable experience in event support and customer service
  • Be part of a cause that truly matters

Whether you can spare a few hours or the whole weekend, your time and energy will help bring the magic of Capital Sci-Fi Con to life - and support those who need it most.
