Volunteering at Download with Hotbox was undoubtedly and simply one of the best weeks of my life.
As this was my first festival volunteering experience, the benefits exceeded my expectations. The showers were surprisingly decent, the main Hotbox tent was fantastic for socialising in addition to the plug sockets, and the free tea/coffee was the cherry on top! Knowing that I can volunteer again, I can safely say that I do not plan on buying a normal audience ticket for these festivals ever again.
Of course, it goes without saying that the people were awesome. I was fortunate enough to be going with a friend of mine and together we made new friends who stuck from our very first shift on day 1 together!
