jOIN oUR tEAM....

We are not ashamed to say that our festival would not be what it is today without the help of all the volunteers and sponsors who make the smooth running of the day possible. If you would like to work for us, please get in touch. All basic positions are unpaid, however you will receive complimentary refreshments, free passes to the event itself and/or the benefit of our sponsorship package as appropriate. Shift times will be agreed prior to the event.

STALL HOLDERS: We have now added a small market to the event and would like to hear from local traders or small businesses who may want to hold a stall. See below for further information.
