Behind every barrel, band, and banner is a brilliant bunch of volunteers who work tirelessly to bring the Brigstock Beer Festival to life. Our committee is made up of local people who share a passion for great beer, good times, and giving back to the community. Each of our committee leads is supported by sub-teams and an amazing network of volunteers, helping with everything from planning and promotion to logistics and late-night tidy-ups — these are the folks who make it all happen!
If you’d like to discuss joining the committee or volunteering over the festival weekend, we’d love to hear from you — just email us at brigstockfestival@gmail.com.
