Strawberry Fair Needs ….Your ideas
What will the well dressed Strawberry Fairy be wearing this spring? Well, that's up to you. We need new t-shirts, which will be on sale as soon as someone can come up with a design. We quite like the strawberry logo – but tell us what you think - email press@strawberry-fair.org.uk
….Your creativity
The entrance to the fair is a showpiece that welcomes Fair goers and attracts passersby. Andy, who heads up the décor team created a stunning gateway last year. Not one to rest on his laurels, Andy is aiming to craft three arches for year.
Don't leave all the work to him. If you can draw, build, paint, or sculpt, your skills are needed now. To be part of one of the most creative teams on the festival scene email iwanttohelp@strawberry-fair.org.uk and your artistry could be enjoyed by tens of thousands of people.

…And yes, your body
It takes a bit of fairy magic to make the Fair appear and disappear almost overnight – it also takes a massive effort on the part of volunteers like Neil, Ian and Dave to build a safe site and then return the common to its natural state for the community to enjoy. So, if you're coming to the Fair on 2 June, why not give the guys a hand before or after so we can carry on giving Cambridge a great day out. iwanttohelp@strawberry-fair.org.uk
