Volunteers
Beyond a small core team the Festival is staffed almost entirely by volunteers. Each year approximately 150 people give up their time to ensure the Festival’s continued existence and development, and to cement the relationship between the Festival and the town which bears its name. In 2010 the age range of the volunteers was from 15 to 82. T-shirts became the standard uniform for all volunteers from 2009.

“Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
