2. In this instance, we would firstly look to reschedule the Event as soon as possible to ensure that people’s dedicated fundraising and entry fees do not go to waste. 

We have lots of fun opportunites to volunteer at this event. Whether it’s at the registration desk, cheering the runners along the route or helping out at the Christmas market – we’d love to hear from you.

We also have lots of different sponsorship packages which would enable your company branding to appear throughout the event. We are expecting a great turn out, plus the site is open for general visitors with previous Shuttleworth markets and Christmas lights seeing over 1000 visitors per day!
