Stewards

We need stewards to help run our events during festival week. This involves a short training session the week before the festival.


Programme Distribution

We need festival representatives in Cirencester and nearby towns and villages to distribute our programme in local shops, cafes and other willing public spaces. Requires availability from the beginning of Sept to the end of Oct.

Or just help us spread the word by telling your friends and neighbours about the festival and encouraging them to join our mailing list!

All funding will go towards expanding our small team and thereby making the festival more sustainable, extending our community outreach work and making more events free.
