This year’s food festival will be taking place over the weekend of the 6th and 7th of September on the Town Hall grounds in Newtown. Every year we are helped by a team of volunteers who help set up, take down, ensure the smooth running of the event and act as our eyes and ears... making sure that everyone is safe and well looked after, we’d welcome your contribution if you can spare the time. If you volunteer for us you wouldn’t be placed in a position of authority or have any responsibility for others, you’d be guided by our coordinator and protected by our volunteering policy.
We have a variety of positions that we need help with:
Friday the 5th and Sunday the 7th from 4-7pm we need about 6 physically able people to help set up Gazebos, put tables and chairs out and make sure signage is in place.
On Saturday and Sunday daytime we need 2 teams of 2 stewards for each shift: 9.30-12.30, 12.30-3.30 and 3.30-7.30.
On Saturday night we need 3 teams of 2 stewards for each shift: 6-10pm and 10pm -1am
All volunteers will be provided with refreshments, clear directions, hi viz and a guaranteed fun day out... we hope that you can spare the time to help this great event be a continued success!
We have another opportunity which may suit an organisation wishing to fundraise... this year we’ll be introducing re-useable drinking cups to reduce waste and single use plastics. This is a big step forward for us and we’ll be setting up rinsing stations near to the festival bar. If your organisation would like to have a shift on the glass rinse in exchange for having a donations bucket we’d be happy and grateful... please get in touch and we’ll organise a rota.
