Over the past few years we've taken a fair bit of lost property home from festivals and we'd really like to reunite it with its owners!
Our lost property collection has grown and grown and is now taking up a lot of room at Hotbox HQ, so please claim your items before they make their way to the charity shop!
Most of these were items left in the marquee, found in the compound, handed in at the office, or left in the zone hub from a previous shift.
We have a menagerie of items, including but not limited to:
And lots more!
So, if you think you lost something at a festival over the past few years - we're pretty sure some of these items have been here since 2021 - please get in touch so we can reunite you!
If you have, pop us an email with a description of the item you've lost - bonus points if you have a photo - we'll check to see if we have it, and if we do arrange to get it back to you!
If there is anything you would like to ask or you would just like to chat with us about, the easiest way is to...
You can connect with us @hotboxevents on Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube
If you would like to chat with others who have joined us before, head to our Facebook Group
Here you will find new and returning staff and volunteers chatting about what it is like to join us at festivals, arranging to share lifts, asking and answering questions about working at festivals and making new friends!
If you have not joined us at a festival before and are wondering what it is like, check out some of our staff and volunteer interviews!
In these interviews, you will get to hear from those who have joined us talking about how they found their shifts, how they felt they were looked after by the Hotbox team, what it was like working solo for the first time, taking on more responsibility year on year, and even how the experience and confidence gained has helped with career progression away from festivals.
Another way to see what joining us is like is to check out some of our festival photos!
In our festival photo galleries, you will find thousands of photos covering our festival history over the past twenty years!
It's totally normal to be anxious before coming to a festival, particularly if you're coming solo! We get hundreds of messages every year from people who are keen to join us but nervous about coming alone, so we promise you're not...alone! We're a very friendly bunch and if there's anything we can do to reduce your anxiety, please get in touch! You can also join our Facebook Group to make friends with others before the festival. Within this group you will also find links to some volunteer-led WhatsApp groups that have been set up!
