To keep the festival alive and open to change, it is a good thing not to get stuck in a rut with the same people for too long; we are therefore looking for new volunteers to take on some of the tasks that make the festival run smoothly.
See the Contact page for the current team members — and of course we need stewards, a lot of whom 'go the extra mile'.
We thank Darren and Debbie for stepping up after the 2025 Festival.
Some of these jobs take a few hours a year, others take a few hours a week during the majority of the year (we mainly have our summers off, though).
We all find our jobs rewarding as it is lovely to see a sea of happy faces during the festival and the majority of the feedback is positive.
Monty Crook retired at the end of the 2026 festival after 6 years carrying out a multitude of tasks. The use of TicketTailor (thanks Malcolm) and Debbie helping with tickets reduced his involvement somewhat, and we also have an outside consultant on catering who has helped for the last two years. So the show will go on — but we never know when people will be unable or unwilling to continue doing what they are currently doing.
Please have a look at the job descriptions below and consider if you could take on one of these tasks for a few years. We look forward to hearing from you.
