Volunteer

Do you have a passion for creativity but no outlet for your colourful expression? Well, The Vale may soon be your second home, as it is for so many. We are a centre for Carnival Arts’ based in Mossley, Tameside, where we make carnival in all shapes and forms. We are here to create, connect, and collaborate in North West England and beyond.

If you have an idea or a dream, a commission or an invitation, a project or a partner, a problem or a solution, then we want to hear from you! Every so often we also open our doors for work experience placements, and we have previously welcomed international interns to join us to get a feel for how we deliver our arts programmes.

Carnival takes many forms, and our artists are willing – and experienced – to work in all settings. So if you’d like to bring Carnival to your community, get in touch.

Our collaboration could be just round the corner.
