Ulverston Lantern Festival seeks volunteers to ensure event success
The Ulverston Lantern Festival is calling for volunteers to help bring this year's event to life. Organizers are seeking individuals willing to assist with various tasks to ensure the safety and success of the festival, scheduled for Saturday, September 20.
The growing number of spectators at the festival has necessitated the need for additional stewards to help manage the crowds. Volunteers will play a crucial role in ensuring that everyone stays safe during the event.
The call for volunteers, dubbed 'heroes in a yellow vest,' outlines the different responsibilities that individuals can take on, including stewarding, fundraising through bucket shaking, and helping with road closures.
Organizers have emphasized the importance of being prepared for any unforeseen circumstances, such as lanterns emitting smoke. Volunteers will need to be vigilant and ready to address any issues that may arise.
Individuals interested in volunteering can attend a stewards briefing at The Spot on Victoria Road on Thursday, September 11 at 6:30pm. Alternatively, they can contact Chris Nelson at chris@trafalgar-pr.co.uk or on 07761 930627 for more information.
