“For Kendal, by Kendal” – Torchlight needs Volunteers

Kendal Torchlight Carnival is, and always has been run by volunteers. Throughout the year the event is planned and organised by a core group.

We also count on an army of amazing volunteers on Torchlight weekend itself. Without these volunteers we cannot run the event. Although this year is a little different, we still need between 40 and 50 volunteers to help us take a small convoy of bands and large sculptures around the town.

If you can spare us a few hours please join us!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Torchlight Carnival Volunteers 2020

In previous years, we’ve managed to scrape together just enough marshals to make it happen. This year has been a tough year for all of us. Normally we need around 180 marshals for Kendal Torchlight to take place.This year we need 50! We require only 1 or 2 hours of your time.

Torchlight Carnival Volunteers 2020

People from any organisation or business who would like to get involved organising activity events, inter-company challenges, coffee mornings, races, Mums-n-Kids events, etc. and to promote their business or group at the same time; we need people who can put the fun in fundraising through any activity that engages Kendal and district residents or the business community and in the process raises a small amount of funds and promotes Torchlight.

Torchlight Marshalls

Torchlight Marshals are part of the essential 160-strong team of volunteers without whom Torchlight can’t happen. Each year we lose a few (we know, it’s a little careless!) … and we gain a few. We train and develop our Torchlight Marshals to professional standards, and they support a 45-year old Kendalian tradition that enhances our community and our town. This year we need just 40-50! Contact us to become a Torchlight Marshal.
