We require helpers from Tuesday 1st June right through to Monday 7th June.
If you can help in any way please volunteer. Helping for as little as 1 hour could mean someone else getting a well deserved break.
If you are not sure whether your skills will be needed contact the Staffing Officer or Festival Organiser and enquire.

This is when the major engineering occurs: scaffolding for the casks is erected, casks are moved into the venue and loaded onto the scaffolding, the bar is built and all major equipment is installed and commissioned.
9am to 5pm - |
We need to make the venue look presentable. Posters are put up and banners are erected. Bars are polished and products displayed. |
5:00pm - |
The countdown begins - doors open in half an hour so all bars need manning with serving staff; glasses need to be prepared; entrance hall, tombola, CAMRA shop etcetera all need need attendants standing by. |
5:30pm - |
The doors open, or at least they will if we have staff! Please arrive early so that you are already at your post when the doors open. This saves the undignified rush to beat the customers to your post! |
The Festival is in full swing so all departments need staffing.
If you are working from the session's opening time can you please try and turn up early so that you are already in post when the doors open.
Please, please, please will all other staff try to turn up on time, we may be relying on you so that another member of staff can leave and visit their gran, mum in hospital, wife(!) or any other deserving cause.
All the equipment has to be dismantled and stacked ready for pick-up Monday morning. Casks have to be sorted ready for collection. Posters, banners etcetera need to be removed and the building made ready for return to Edgeley Park on Monday morning.
It would be nice to have somebody to supervise the breweries collecting their casks. There are also other collections which need supervision/assisting.
