ONE of the biggest events to take place in Wokingham is in need of volunteers to help the magic happen once again.

Wokingham Festival, which takes place at Cantley Park between Friday, August 24 and Sunday, 26, is a celebration of all the best things the town has to offer, including food, a beer festival, family-friendly activities and live music.

The organisers are looking for volunteers to add to its team of helpers across the weekend, offering shifts of five hours and up across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Volunteers are needed to help check tickets at the gate, direct visitors around the site, and to help clean up once the fun is over.

Organiser Stan Hetherington said: "It's a great way to make new friends, learn new skills and have fun whilst contributing to something which is your cup of tea."
