Daingean Sundew Festival

03/06/2026

Want to be part of making Sundew Festival happen? 🌿
We’ve got over 30 events lined up across Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th June – and we’re looking for volunteers to help bring it all to life.
There are loads of ways to get involved:
✨ Stewarding
✨ Ticketing
✨ Set up & pack up
✨ Supporting events across the town
✨ Social media and event photos
Even 2 hours of your time would make a real difference.
We also need a few extra hands:

Before the weekend (Town Hall clean-up & prep)
Monday 15th (festival wrap-up & tidy)

A community festival takes a community to run it – and we’d love to have you involved 💚
