Have Fun & Light in the dark at Baylight
Morecambe, you were wonderful! We pulled together a team of amazing volunteers to help us put on Baylight ’23. We simply couldn’t have done it without you! But now we are planning for Baylight ’24 and in order for the event to be a success we need as much help as possible, in short, we need you!
- Distributing marketing material in January
- Supporting artists during installation week
- Running installations and talking to audiences about the artworks
- Taking photos for audiences
If you would like to become a volunteer for Baylight ’24 please complete the form below to be added to our volunteers database. Our Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch asap. We look forward to welcoming you to the team!
The event all takes place on Morecambe prom so there are many ways to get here, the train station is a 5-minute walk to the prom, various bus routes come into Morecambe from Lancaster and Carnforth etc and there is plenty of parking around the town (parking will not be provided for volunteers).
No, we have multiple staff in the main team that have these and we will have a first aid company on hand if we need them.
It is February, in the evening, and it’s an outdoor event so make sure you wrap up warm and are protected against the cold and possibly wet weather. We will provide High Viz vests for all volunteers.
We have several roles:
Visitor Support – will be stationed at key points along the prom to direct visitors, providing information to everyone about the event.
Installation Assistants – will be stationed at a particular installation making sure people do not climb on it or damage it. If it is an interactive installation you will be making sure there is no overcrowding and everyone is kept safe.
Parade Assistants – For our parade night you will be helping keep the parade flowing and helping stop overcrowding on the prom.
This is a voluntary role, but we will provide refreshments throughout the night for you. We can provide a per diem payment to cover your costs, and a certificate to add to your cv.
We will need volunteers on all 3 nights of the event so you would be required from approximately 5pm-10.30pm each night.
No, this is not necessary, however, you have to be able to talk to people and help take charge of a crowd or deal with a situation that may arise calmly.
