Running this event takes a fair bit of work so we’re asking if there are any folk who would like to help out, especially on the day (June 17 this year), although there is some preparation work as well:

• help by putting posters up around the area (and taking them down)
• help to make sure the lanes are free of rubbish and hazards
• help by moving your car / van / camper / trailer / etc out of the lanes on the day (June 17)
• help to set up and take down on the day
• help to steward the lanes on the day
• help on one of the stalls on the day

For more on what’s needed and how to volunteer, check our Volunteers page.
