Don’t worry – you would be fully briefed before taking on any duty!

There are several other positions which need to be covered, not all of which require you to be present at the Festival itself. We would welcome any offer of help, however much time you have to spare.

The Festival runs for two weeks during the second half of November; there are usually three 3-hour sessions a day (morning, afternoon, evening), from Monday – Saturday, and on the middle Sunday.
