Position purpose

Throughout the year Britannia hosts a range of events that celebrate food, art, environment, and community. Our busy calendar includes annual traditions such as the Stone Soup Festival, The Corn Festival and Canada Day celebrations, seasonal events such as Artful Sundays and the twice weekly 'Off the Grill' BBQs that are becoming increasingly popular.

Additionally, Britannia also hosts special one-off events such as the truly "special" All Candidate in-Conversation and the Naming Ceremony of Carving Pavilion. Volunteers are invited to join us to ensure the continuing success of these events.
