🏢 About the local organisation
Travel back in time to the Middle Ages! Help transform a village into a medieval festival! Each year, this festival, founded by the organization “Souvigny Grand Site” attracts more than 30.000 visitors during one week. For 22 years the village has been hosting international workcamps that work with the local volunteers on the organization of the event.
💼 What the programme involves
The work consists of three steps: setting up, the work during the week long festival and in the end transforming the village back to its usual self. During all of the three weeks you will cooperate with the big team of local volunteers to set up stages, tend to stalls, cook and serve food, and any other task that is necessary for the festival to run smoothly.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Your dormitory will be in a building that belongs to the town hall. Food will be provided and cooked by the group in turns. Lunch will be shared with the team of local volunteers.
📍 About the location
03210 Souvigny (Allier), 10 km from Moulins-sur-Allier.
Leisure activities: The activities during your free time will be organised collectively with the whole group. During the second week and the weekends you will be very occupied with your work on the festival but you will have time to discover the region together during the last week. Nevertheless, you will have the possibility to enjoy the concerts, workshops, exhibitions and other activities which take place during the festival.
⚠️ Requirements
Be aware that the work during the festival is intense and demands a lot of energy and a high level of flexibility. Some of the stalls are open until midnight!
