Firstly, they will arrange the necessary space (collecting and taking away of trash and cleaning the area-mowing and removing the branches, making the terrain plain). Then they will prepare the materials for the workshops (design and paint banners, create and organize "Photo-area", help in making stage props for the battle arena, decorate the place). They will also assist to the organizers of workshops (the art of sculpture, heraldic, medieval board games). There is even a possibility that they lead the workshop, but that depends on their previous experience. The participants will also do some logistical work-informing and directing the visitors, promotion in the town center. At the end, their task will be, also, to remove the materials after the manifestation.
