Torchlight Festival of Camping 2023

The National Event Sub-Committee are looking for Torchlight Stewards to join this year’s crew to support the pitching team when campers arrive on Thursday 17th and Friday 18th August. As a thank you, volunteers will receive a 50% discount on their Torchlight ticket, an invitation to the crew party on Tuesday evening, as well as the option to extend their stay at Walesby Forest for free until Tuesday 22nd August.

Volunteers would be required to arrive at Walesby Forest on Tuesday 15th August so they can be trained ahead of members arriving. They’d then support the pitchers from 10am Thursday morning until 8.30pm Friday evening (with breaks). After this, they will be free to enjoy the festival fun for the rest of the weekend. Details of the entertainment provided at this year event can be found at www.torchlightfestival.co.uk.

If anyone is interested in helping out, please email torchlightenquiry@campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk before 28th April 2023, with their membership number and details of any previous stewarding experience.
