You will need to be reliable, confident and enjoy working with others. You must be willing to work 4 hours per day. Above all you will be an ambassador for the Festival and a source of information for our visitors. In return you will receive a Stewards’ Pass which admits you to the main site all weekend.

As a volunteer steward you can be involved in a variety of activities including site set-up and break-down, ticket checking, artist liaison, campsite, traffic control, venue management and litter picking.
