Bring your boom boxes!, wear those shoulderpads with pride!, let’s all dress in Neon!…
but most of all let’s have some fun!
Choose Your Own Volunteering Spot ... Online!
Aldeburgh Carnival is run by a volunteer committee and every year we need to refresh the small army of volunteers that make the event run smoothly.
The rota allows for 1, 2 or 3 hour spots – just choose as many as you can please even if you can only do one spot – every little helps!
We need people to help across all three days of course, but even before the event we need a battalion of helpers to sell draw tickets, programmes, lanterns and other Carnival merchandise from our “pop up” shop on the High Street, and to be ambassadors for Carnival and the Town.
Our grateful thanks go to Aldeburgh Yacht Club who have made space available to us within their online volunteering system. Now you can take a look at what spots are needed, where, for what purpose and for how long, and pop your name into the system to cover as many as you can!
If you're unable to donate your time, then you can donate to our JustGiving Page.
