APPLY TO BE A FESTIVAL VOLUNTEER
​​Applications for 2026 are now open.
​
📨PLEASE NOTE: if you stewarded in 2025, there is no need to apply. Instead, please look out for an email from us.
​
As a not–for-profit company run by volunteers, we rely on the generosity of volunteers to help set up the Festival, steward the event over the weekend and to assist with the take down afterwards. It is a great opportunity to join the team, work a few hours and enjoy the rest of the Festival for free. Lots of people come back year after year but we welcome first-timers with open arms. You must be at least 18 years old on the day of arrival.
​
If you want to volunteer, please read the information below and click the link to register for the next Festival.
​
There are three volunteer crews, as described below​
​
SET-UP CREW
Set Up will commence at 12:00 midday on the Sunday before the Festival. Set Up volunteers work 9-5 on three and a half days. You will be able to opt for Sunday-Wednesday, Monday-Thursday or Tuesday-Friday.
​
WEEKEND CREW
You will be required to work up to 16 hours between Wednesday and Sunday. Duties may fall at any time of day from 8 am but not after 1 am. You will be expected to work at any time of day including at least one late shift. If you have particular needs or preferences we try to accommodate them.
Stewards work with a Team Leader responsible for a specific area. If you are interested in a Team Leader role you will be able to tell us when you apply. Team Leaders may be required to work longer hours.
​
TAKE-DOWN CREW
The Take Down crew works form 9-5 on the Monday and Tuesday following the Festival. You must be available for all of both days. A bond of £150 is required which will be returned after you have completed your tasks at 5 pm on Tuesday.
​
Set Up and Take Down are physically demanding and will involve a degree of lifting and carrying.
