Volunteer

To make the Blackberry Carnival run smoothly we need an army of volunteers.  If you would like to join us use the form below to let us know.  We have a number of jobs that need doing in particular this year we need volunteer litter pickers and stewards who would need to cover 3-4 hour shifts on 21st September 2024.  

 

Stewards are needed to staff the carnival route and help us keep visitors and participants safe as the procession passes through the Town.  We also need a small number of Litter pickers during and after the event to help us return the wonderful Medieval square back to the state we found it!  

 

Any time you can dontate to the help us run this wonderful event will make a huge differnce - but please do keep the following in mind:

​

Walking – there will be a fair bit of walking so wear comfortable shoes

Weather – the route of the procession does not offer much shelter so you will need to have access to clothing suitable for the day (we can provide high vis jackets).  If we are lucky, you may also need to bring sunscreen and a hat!

Specialist skills – Perhaps you have some expertise or skill that you make great use of?  Maybe you are great with social media, creative projects, musical abilities or you have professional skills relating to planning, health and safety etc. Do you have any specialist skills that we can make use of on the day?

How much time do I have free?  - If you only have a little time to spare on the day, then we would welcome your input from 12.45 pm until approximately 3.45 pm.  We are always looking for more committee members to help organise the Carnival so if you can spare a little more time then you would be welcome to join the committee.  It is a great way to network with the local community.

If you can spare the time to help out we'd love to hear from you - so please let us know with the form below.
