The Leura Gardens Festival is an event involving people from the Upper Blue Mountains and beyond. During the 4days of the Festival, around 400 volunteers will sit at garden gates, checking and selling entry tickets. Others will be assisting at the Headquarters, at the Ticket Sales/Information stand near Leura Station and at Plant Sales.
Every Festival garden has a gate crew, minding the gate, issuing brochures, giving information, and generally making visitors welcome.
Festival Committee
In addition, each year the Festival is managed by a dedicated committee of volunteers.
To run the 2022 Festival, David White was elected as the President and Sue Harris as the Vice President. Wendy Shedden was appointed as Secretary and Leone Hurley as Treasurer. Other elected committee members are Brooke Broughton, Peter Shoemark, Susan Lenehan, Peter McGrath, Brigitte Moseley,and Celeste Shadie. In addition, the Committee is supported by Malcolm Nicholson who runs the Mall Ticket Office and Ben Parker who organises the Festival Bus.
