Our volunteers' help is vital to the success of Skipton International Puppet Festival 2019, 4th-6th October.  If you enjoy meeting new people you will have certainly have the chance to do this through helping with a range of different activities at the Festival.   We shall need help with:

>  A Volunteers' Handbook

>  A free ticket to see a show for those volunteering 4 hours+

>  Refreshments during the Festival

>  An invite to join us at the end of the Festival Celebration Buffet on Sunday evening.
