Carnival Steward Role

Stewards are needed to make sure everyone feels welcome and stays safe during the parade.
Stewards are only required on Carnival Day, from 4.30
pm to 9pm.

Experience is not needed.

You'll need to be super friendly and happy to chat to strangers. Stewards work together in pairs, walking alongside the parade.

You will attend a Steward's Briefing Session before the event starts to explain procedures such as lost children and first aid. At the end of the parade Stewards will continue to circulate within the crowd making sure people are safe, and picking litter.

Schedule: 
4.30pm Meet and carry lanterns to decorate the Cemetery.

5.30pm Steward's Briefing. 
6.30pm Procession starts.
8.30 Finish with a tidy up of the park and carry lanterns back to the store.

We will provide hi-vis vests and ear-plugs (it gets loud). There are toilets at the Cemetery.

 

Please bring...

Warm clothes; suitable for cold and potentially wet weather.

Good shoes: you'll be on your feet for 4 hours and it might be muddy.

Snacks & water; there will be pizza and hot drinks for sale but that's all.

A torch if you have one. It's dark.

Please don't bring...

Valuables or big bags that you can't carry. There is no room to store or keep anything. 

Just let us know if you are interested by filling in the form above.
