Welcome to the Hotbox Events staff and volunteer community!
We hope you enjoy watching our festival staff and volunteer interviews, having a browse of our photo galleries, chatting in our Facebook Group and Forum, connecting and sharing on our social channels, and please don't forget to keep up to date by joining our newsletter!
Head to our Facebook Group to chat with Hotbox staff and volunteers about this summer's festivals, get advice about what to pack, offer and find lifts to the festivals, share photos and videos...
Making sure that every volunteer and member of staff who joins us has the best possible experience is of upmost importance to everyone involved with Hotbox Events.
If you've not volunteered or worked as part of a staff team at a festival before and you're wondering what it's like; have a watch of some of our festival staff and volunteer interviews!
You’ll get to hear from volunteers who have joined us at festivals such as Download, Latitude, Reading and Leeds, talking about how they found their shifts, how they were looked after by the Hotbox team, what it was like volunteering for the first time on their own, taking on more responsibility year on year and progressing from a volunteer to staff role, and even how the experience and confidence gained has helped with their career progression away from festivals!
Hotbox Events began its life recruiting and managing volunteers for the 2003 Leeds Festival, since then our volunteers have managed to escape to the Reading Festival in 2006, then Latitude Festival in 2008, and V Festival in 2016!
With so little control there really is no telling what you may find in the galleries!
Just wanted to say thanks for an amazing week with you guys. It was a fantastic experience and one I will remember. I'm a regular at download, and it felt like a luxury being on site with Hotbox. The showers and phone charging facilities were a god send! Catering was really good, and tastier than some of the food I paid double the amount for in the village! All of the management/supervisor staff were very friendly, approachable and down to earth.
Kudos to Tom he was lovely, and very understanding when it started to get really hot, allowing extra sit downs in the shade to cool off. He was very supportive to staff and the public, it was a pleasure to work with him.
Again a huge thanks for letting me join the team. I already can't wait to sign up for next year's Download!
