How to get involved

To help make the Watchet Carnival and Music Festival continue to evolve, we need the support of volunteer stewards. Experience West Somersets liveliest daylight carnival and outdoor Music Festival weekend by giving your time and energy in helping to make this popular carnival/festival happen.

There are many benefits including free entry to carnival run events, meeting new friends, learning new skills, and being part of the Watchet Carnival Club’s growing team of volunteers. We incourage local groups and organsions to get involved and we make a dontation to our chosen charity for the time given in help at our events.

Carnival stewards are required for route marshalls, Street collectors on carnival day, parade marshalls and car parking stewards.

Festival stewards Over the Festival Weekend stewards are required for numerous tasks including:festival information staff, infrastructre (help build and dismantle the layout of the festival),car park marshalls, day/eveninng site stewarding, bar staff, Rubbish collecting and staffing the entrance desk. Training will be given for all stweards and you would work in teams lead by a carnival club/festival offical. There will also be a need for stewards to work at various on site locations including the music stages, workshop venues and liasing with the onsite security. We are asking for volunteers to give a small amount of time per day (minimum 4 hours) and in return you will be involved in the running of West Somersets largest live music event.
