As always, the festival is run by volunteers and all the profits from the
festival go back into funding next year’s festival, none of the committee
members who run it get paid in any way. <br><br>
We want to thank anyone who has already said they can spare a few hours
on the day, to volunteer in one of the many roles available, a volunteer
form will be added on our Facebook pages, and one on this website very
soon, keep your eye out for it.<br><br>
Have a great 2024 Wigan Diggers’ Festival,<br>
Wigan Diggers’ Committee.<br>
