Volunteer Steward (Festival of Trees)

Volunteering details

Falkirk Festival of Trees are taking over the former Wilko's shop, decorating it for Christmas, and having local organisations decorate their own trees to reflect the work of their group. There will also be a craft market, and performances from local singers, dancers, etc. This will be open to the public (free admission) on 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th December.

We are looking for Volunteer Stewards to assist at the doors and patrolling to ensure the crowd flows smoothly, no-one touches the trees and to answer any questions, etc. People can volunteer for a two hour slot (between 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.) or more if you would like.
