Leeds festival 2018 was my first ever music festival and I am so glad I volunteered. Though originally a little apprehensive, I quickly made friends with the fellow CAT's. Spending 8 hours with someone means you form a really close bond. My supervisors were informative and energetic - a big thank you to Lucy on night shift in red camp and Emelia on the morning shift in blue camp.
The experience enlightened me to a wider variety of music and event and people management. I would love to volunteer at Leeds festival next year and my experience has inspired me to work at a different festival too.
Thank you again for such a fantastic week and I look forward to working with you in the future.
