VOLUNTEERS WANTED AT FESTIVE ROAD CREATIVE HQ

Earlier this month Festive Road transformed the centre of town with its successful Walking with Giants parade.

Not only is the annual event huge in the very literal sense, it is also free - bringing the party atmosphere to the fore, and providing a real sense of achievement for all those who helped piece together the gargantuan creations.

The participatory outdoor arts company have enjoyed life on the international carnival scene for more than 10 years. And they are always on the look-out for extra talents to join their fold.

"We have regular opportunities for volunteers to get involved in individual projects or resident artist positions," Festive Road's Louise Evans told Total MK.

"We can offer you hands on experience of what it takes to put on and run a truly inspiring carnival, street performance or a commissioned giant build."

If you want to get closer to the action drop an email to carnival@festiveroad.org.uk
