Volunteer

Fancy being part of the team? Pulling a few pints? Helping us with advertising or just setting up?

It takes a small army of Volunteer Residents to ensure the smooth running of the May Fayre and we couldn’t run any of the events without your valuable help.

Some of the roles we need filling over the weekend typically include:​

  • Event Setup & Take-Down
  • Traffic Marshals
  • Bar Staff
  • Ticket Checking & Main Event Helpers
  • Car Park Marshal

If you’d like to Volunteer for our 2026 May Fayre, you can sign up here.

Join our Organising Committee

The Organising Committee meet throughout the year to plan our events, decide on donation requests and also run the annual Donations event called “BRA-vo”.

​We don’t have a rigid meeting schedule, instead agreeing a mutually suitable day & time (usually a mid-week evening) at the Committee Room inside the Burghfield Village Hall. The Organising Committee is overseen by the B.R.A. Directors and bound by the terms of our constitution. 

​If you would like to join the Organising Committee please get in touch via email and we will advise of the next meeting date so you can come along to observe , ask any questions you may have and maybe you’ll even want to  join in!
