VOLUNTEERING:
We need you!! Our workshops rely on volunteers; you don't need to know how to make a lantern (we will teach you!)- you just need to be friendly and happy to get stuck in and help new people when they arrive to make a lantern.

We are looking for 2-3 lead volunteers for each workshop and then as many other willing hands as possible. If you are interested please email Lu here:

and put the Saturday 27th January 10-12pm in your diary for a training session.

​

STEWARDS
We are looking for volunteer stewards to help us get set up and keep people safe on the night - if you're interested please follow the below the link to find out more: https://www.creativeaction.net/get-involved and email to register your interest. The carnival is 100% volunteer so we really appreciate any help you can offer.
