Knaresborough's FEVA festival is calling for volunteers to join its committee as it begins to plan for its comeback in 2021.

The festival went virtual this year holding events and a "Knaresborough's Got Talent" show online.

2021 marks 25 years since the first 'Knaresborough Festival' and organisers are planning a celebratory event.

The committee is looking to fill a number of vacancies including secretary, treasurer and other general event support roles.

The large group of volunteers help to organise over 90 separate events for FEVA each year. These include live music, plays and workshops.

Current Chair Lucy Barrow says it's an exciting time to get involved:

"It's been devastating for so many to have cancelled events in 2020, and it was the first time FEVA has ever been pulled.
"We've used the time wisely to take stock, and now we are working on establishing a new organising committee."

The committee is working hard to raise funds for next year. They say they have a "responsibility" to boost morale for the town.

Lucy added:

"As a community festival we believe we have a responsibility in 2021 after such a difficult time to bring joy back to the local community and to boost tourism for the good of our local businesses. We'll be working harder than ever to do just that and we have everything crossed."


To get involved in the committee applicants are being asked to email admin@feva.info.
