Volunteering opportunities
There are various opportunities for volunteering during Well Dressing festival and carnival which is organised by volunteers alone. The organisation works closely with the local council but do provide all the organisation ourselves. They always need help during the festival and are always on the look out for marshlls during the the parade. If you think you help, get in touch here.
Alternatively you can donate to the Buxton Well Dressing here which is a registered charity.
