Here's what you can expect in a volunteering role with us
Stalls
Whether you're a food enthusiast, an artist, a green thumb or simply someone with a flair for connecting with others, setting up a stall is your chance to get the word out there or show the locals what you can do.
If you're interested in setting up a stall or would like more information, please contact
us at stleonardsfestival@18hours.org.uk
Perform
Are you an aspiring musician? Maybe you're a dancer who wants to show off your skills solo
or within a group? If you have an entertaining talent you'd like to bring to the table,
our event could be your stage.
If you're interested in performing or would like more information,
please contact us at stleonardsfestival@18hours.org.uk
Parade
The parade is a huge part of our events which we would like to welcome everyone to dress up for. Look out for the theme for our next festival and come along in your best costumes.
If you're interested in being part of the parade as a drummer, artistic display or something else you think would add value to the grandness of the parade,
please contact us at stleonardsfestival@18hours.org.uk
Sponsor and Donate
Sponsorships and donations help us greatly in making St Leonards Festival the best it can be, meaning we can, in turn, contribute more to the community through our events. If you're a business, you may get more social media coverage through our marketing.
