Since its opening year in 2012, the 48 Timer Festival in Nørrebro, which will again be held this weekend (May 12-14), has grown significantly in size.

Brownie points for volunteering
Enjoying the festivities isn’t the only option, of course, because there are also plenty of opportunities to volunteer.

Whether you are a technical nerd, an expert in photography or PR, or simply happy to do some hard graft, this festival offers the opportunity to gain a few brownie points for your CV – plus a few food perks along the way.

So what are you waiting for: that limited edition t-shirt isn’t going to put itself on, is it?
