festival and an explanation into exactly what your role entails.

​

More about being a part of our team…

​

Shifts run throughout the weekend, but there are also roles around the lead up and the all-important pack down. The festival runs on a unique and special farm site so we need to return the farm to the animals safe and as it was.

 

Roles include, but are not limited to:

• Arena steward

• Bar staff

• Box office – taking payments and giving wrist bands

• Site set up and pack down

• Backstage support – green room, equipment handling, stage management

• Band check-in desk

• Running the merch stall

• Photography

• Car parking support

• Recycling team

​

Volunteers can count the hours towards college / university / back to work programmes – if you need forms signing off, please bring them with you to the festival and these will be signed off on Sunday. We can also provide you with a certificate of attendance to support your CV.

​

Let’s face it, a festival is better with a friend – we encourage volunteers to volunteer with their friends to make memories together. We would also like to hear from local groups who would like to be involved as a team – Guides, Scouts and youth groups.

​

Festival volunteers will need to be our eyes and ears, vigilant, confident, flexible and committed to supporting our festival and the shifts they sign up to. Some will need to be physically fit as they will be on their feet whilst on duty. If you need a specific role which involves seating or adaptions please let us know we are keen to include all and work to everyone’s strengths.

​

Please let us know if you have any previous festival experience, and if there’s any particular role you would like to do.
