There are a number of roles that will need to be filled during the festival. We've tried to provide an outline of the duties involved with each as a guide for you when choosing which roles you would like to sign up for.
We will also be taking sign-ups during the festival for any roles that have yet to be filled, so if you find yourself with a spare few minutes do pop over to the Volunteer/Info Desk tent!
