Hillusphere are facilitating a series of planning and workshop sessions to create and to help others to create festival décor/installations and artwork which will solidify the beltane feels onto the Hill and improve the feeling of communal celebration with the ticket buyers.

The Beltonia Workshop will be opened up to members, helping to increase use and increase/facilitate skills sharing among the community.

We will have some drop-in surgeries/appointments for anyone in the festival who wants some some help/advice with their props/costumes.

Planning and Induction sessions will take place on a couple of weeks after the open meeting, and volunteers will sign up to a workshop volunteer agreement (respect agenda) as well as the BFS volunteer framework.

Workshop Supervision/Mentoring will be available for groups by the project facilitators and other senior team members who have completed the induction.

Access to BFS and Alan’s equipment (including sewing machines, metal and wood workshop) will be available. 

Presence on the night - participants who are not also in other groups may get the

opportunity to be selfie point characters/Whimsy, installations specific stewards and or tech.

• Commitment: Varying commitment levels, but we do want people who will attend a few sessions and finish what they have started.

• Financial contribution: you may be asked to contribute to materials, depending what you design, but we do have a budget for materials and we have some materials already…

• Weekend Away because we anticipate most of you will be in other groups, we do not intend to have a Weekend Away
