Beeston Festival is back on Saturday 27 June 2026 and they have put out their annual call for volunteers to help make the day happen.

The festival is a free, family‑friendly celebration in Cross Flatts Park, bringing together music, food, market stalls, sports, and activities for all ages. The live event runs from 12-5pm, costs over £30,000 to produce and relies on over 500 voluntary hours to assist with set-up, festival operations and pack-down.

This is where you come in.

Angela Gabriel, Chair of Beeston Festival said:

“Our voluntary organising committee have been in planning for several months already to bring this day to life. If you can spare a few hours on the day, we’d love to have you on the team. Many hands make light work has never been more true – the more people who sign up, the shorter the shifts become. Bring a friend or colleague to half your workload and double the fun!”

Suggested Volunteer Shifts | Choose whichever suits you best or let us know your availability.

8:30am-2:30pm | Set‑Up Crew 
Build market stalls, lay flags & barriers, traffic steward, deliver tables & chairs, set up stages and help with event stewarding. You’re welcome to start as early as you can make it!

12-5pm | Social media 
We need volunteers to create content, like and share tagged posts and capture engagement.

2-8pm | Event & Pack‑Down Crew 
Stewarding, helping on food stalls, stage support, and dismantling, lifting and carrying to close the site. Once we’re done, we’re done!

No experience needed — just enthusiasm and a willingness to help your community. If you can only help out for specific times or a few hours, just let us know your availability.
