Background to the event

Now in its sixth year, this popular community festival includes a lantern parade (made by local school children and community), a winter market, live music and dance, community feasts (free) and other community spirited events.

The festival organisers are in need of a few additional pairs of hands both during the daytime and in the evening.

What you need to know

• Activity may include: general stewarding; helping out in lantern-making workshops; working with the stage crew; providing information about the festival and gaining evaluation from audiences; supporting the team to manage the parade route...

• You may drop-in to volunteer any time between 9am - 6pm - the organisers just request a minimum 2-hour commitment.

We will be in touch closer to the time to establish what time you'll be arriving, in order to provide you with a written brief and an allocated time slot to be briefed on arrival.

• The meeting point is Aldgate Square, Aldgate High St, London EC3N 1AF.
