The Festival is organised and staffed entirely by volunteers.
It takes in excess of 200 people annually to run the event. Volunteers are sourced mainly from the Lions Club, Tynedale RFC and the beneficiary charities the event supports.
Purely because they have so much fun many volunteers come back year on year.
It is very important to celebrate the critical role the volunteers provide. Without their commitment, there simply wouldn’t be a Festival!
And here are all our volunteers for 2023. Thank you for your help.
