We had a great time as first time volunteers at Download, it's something we have wanted to try for a while. We had time to enjoy the festival and see the bands we wanted to see. We were a little apprehensive because we're older but we have a lot of festival experience but we joined the Hotbox Facebook group where we realised there were other people around our ages also volunteering. We would especially like to thank our shift supervisors Henry and Sarah, they were great to work with!
You can find out what volunteering at festivals is like by checking out our festival volunteer interviews!
You can also find lots of info about every festival we volunteer with on our festival pages.
If you're looking for more try our festival volunteer photo galleries and festival volunteer forum!
You can apply to volunteer at music festivals by signing up to our online festival volunteer application!
Festival volunteer applications open at the beginning of Feb each year, with sometimes a few extra festivals to volunteer at added throughout the year.
We send a message to every volunteer who signs up when applications open!
