Carnival magic does not happen by accident. It takes planning, teamwork and care.
Our Carnival Crew programme invites local people to learn about the history of Stalybridge Carnival and discover what it takes to deliver a large-scale parade.
During this introductory session, you will:
Learn about the heritage and evolution of the carnival
Understand how a parade is structured and managed
Explore the backstage and logistical elements of production
Prepare to support the 50th anniversary parade as volunteer crew
On the day itself, crew volunteers will help to:
Set up and prepare puppets
Distribute costumes
Marshal parade sections
Support performers
Keep the procession flowing safely and smoothly
If you enjoy being organised, working with people and being part of something bigger than yourself, this is a vital and rewarding volunteer role.
