Venue Management

When: Throughout the festival.

During the festival we need  to ensure that the venues and grounds of the venues are clear of any rubbish and the chairs are put back into place if they have been used for workshops or jams prior to the concerts. In 2024 we also have to collect the bottles and cans that attract a 10c deposit in the Cash for Cans scheme and ensure that they go in the separate Cash for Cans bins.
