About Our Volunteers

IMG_9281.heic

We could not run Bury Lit Fest without the help of our volunteers, who work so hard both in the run up to and during the festival.  

If you love books, writing and people and can either offer us your time or a particular expertise that you think might help the festival run smoothly then we'd love to hear from you!
