Roles and Responsibilities:

Festival Stewarding: Our Festival Stewarding Team are the eyes and ears of the festival, responsible for maintaining the best experience for festival-goers, with a major focus on friendliness and helpfulness.

This role includes:

• Arena Stewarding: Positioned across arenas and venues, Stewards will be on hand to answer questions and provide support to festival goers helping to maintain a safe environment.
• Car Park Stewarding: Stewards will be responsible for helping festival-goers find space in the carpark, as well as providing any information regarding the parking system at the festival.
• Cloakroom & Information Point: Stewards will be responsible for helping festival-goers find lost property, providing general information regarding the site and assisting with the cloakroom.
• Campsite Stewarding: Stewards will be positioned in the campsites to help maintain a pleasant experience, and ensure festival-goers are able to seek assistance and report any issues in these areas.

These role profiles are designed to give you a good idea of what it will be like volunteering with us on site, however due to the ever changing nature of festivals and events, our team is expected to be flexible and therefore roles are subject to change or adaptation to meet the needs at any time.

Festival stewarding is great fun, but it’s also physically demanding. The majority of our volunteer roles will require you to be on your feet for the duration of your shift.
