Mullingar St Patrick’s Day Festival seeking volunteers

Published: Fri 10 Feb 2023, 9:33 AM

The committee organising the Mullingar St Patrick’s Day Festival 2023 have put out a call for volunteers.

They say that it is a chance to get involved in what will be a historic St Patrick’s Day festival in the town, and suggest that anyone who volunteers could ask get friends and family members to join them.

In a statement, the committee said: “As the town finalises plans for the St Patrick’s Day festival for the weekend of March 16-18, there is a need for as many volunteers as possible to come forward to make the weekend a great experience for locals and visitors alike.

“With 5,000 people expected to visit Mullingar for the festival, any assistance you can give, even if it’s just for a few hours that weekend, will be greatly appreciated.

“You don’t need any specific skills, only the willingness and ability to engage with people and be happy to help.”

Volunteers have to be over 15 years of age; and if they are under 18s parental consent is required.

There is a volunteer form at http://www.mullingarstpatricksdayfestival.com/volunteer-mullingar.
