Volunteering

 

The festival is run by volunteers and we are always in need of extra pairs of hands.

​

Can you help?

 

Any assistance you can offer will be gratefully received, but we have particular need in the following areas:

 

Publicity - preparing press releases and liaising with the media. Some nice crisp copy and swift follow-up to events would be just the ticket. We would love a specialist to lend us a few hours of their time each year.

 

Advertising - have you got the gift of the gab? We need an enthusiastic person to sell a few adverts for the syllabus and programme. This requires a few phone calls and perhaps a few shop/supplier visits to provide us with much-needed advertising revenue. Can you help?

 

Stewarding - do you like meeting people? Do you like assisting the professionals? We need a number of volunteers to help with marshalling, assisting adjudicators, help with refreshments and general gofer-ing.

 

Photography - the festival has need of good quality photos, both reportage and portraiture. If you can cope with indoor lighting conditions, can operate in a discreet manner and work within current safeguarding guidelines, we'd love to hear from you if you can offer your services. All work will be acknowledged.

​

We are a registered charity and will happily support regular volunteering opportunities for young people who wish to count hours towards the Duke of Edinburgh Award or similar.
