🚧 Volunteers still needed! 🚧

We are still in need of a couple more volunteers to cover this years road closures, sadly if we can’t close the roads safely we won’t be able to run the procession.

Full training will be given and you still have a front row view of the whole carnival procession!
Think you can help? Drop us a message!

A big thank you to those volunteers that have come forward to help so far, it really is appreciated!

🛑 Road Closure Volunteers Required 🛑

Do you have some time free between 18:00 & 19:30 on Saturday 18th July?

We are looking for volunteers to help with the road closure points throughout the procession route, you will still have a great view point of the whole procession and full training will be given.

Anyone is able to volunteer but you must be aged 18 or over.

If you’re able to help drop us a message!
