A BOLTON theatre is appealing for volunteers to help at a summer festival.

The Octagon Theatre and Bolton Council are organising a youth-led arts festival to take place in Queens Park on Sunday, August 17.

The free family festival will present foods from around the world, a range of arts and craft activities, a fashion show and story telling workshops to celebrate diversity.

It will finish with a parade through the park and a performance staged in the new amphitheatre.

Volunteers are needed for a variety of roles. For details contact Helen Barnes on 01204 556501 or e mail helen.barnes @octagonbolton.co.uk
