VOLUNTEERS are needed to help ensure the forthcoming Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival goes with a swing.

Bournemouth will host more than 50 original and exciting arts activities during the three week festival and is looking for people to fulfil a variety of different roles, including arts ambassadors, stewards and ticket checkers.

Anyone who thinks they could help should email robin.collings@ artsbournemouth.org.uk or go along to a volunteers’ social event at Flirt Cafe, the Triangle between 5pm and 8pm on Wednesday, September 4.
