We always need plenty of volunteers to help at the festival so don’t be shy about putting your name forward.

Like all CAMRA festivals, the Oxford Beer & Cider Festival is conceived, planned, organised, publicised, built, staffed, and taken down by volunteers. The usual dedicated members of Oxford CAMRA have done the planning and organising and now we need help with the actual festival itself.

We need volunteers to carry all the beer and equipment into the Town Hall (there are lifts and trolleys) and build the stillage on Wednesday put the bars together and get everything tidy on Thursday before we open at 4pm; serve beer and cider Thursday evening, Friday  and Saturday. Then we take it all down  on Sunday morning.

Everyone who does this says it is a lot of fun. It is very satisfying to work as a team and see the festival take shape on Wednesday and Thursday whilst serving beer to happy customers when we open has it’s own reward.

If you are a regular helper just wait for my email nearer the time.  If you are new the staffing form has all the information about what’s involved and will appear here nearer the time. Fill in the first page and send it back.
