Event Volunteers and Stewards

Hotbox Events recruits and manages volunteer stewards for events across the UK. Our first event was Leeds Festival in 2003, where we provided just 6 volunteers. Since then, we've grown to now supplying over three thousand volunteer stewards every year!

If you run an event and would like more information about the volunteers Hotbox Events can provide please contact us.

Our event volunteer and stewarding experience

Our management team has been recruiting and managing volunteer stewards for events since the early 90s.

We currently supply and manage teams of up to 900 at the events we work with, helping in the campsites, on fire towers, gates, wristband exchanges, entrances and in the arenas.

Our event volunteer and stewarding services

Our volunteer teams provide support and customer service to event goers whilst working with other onsite agencies to help reduce crime and keep event ticket holders safe.

The key areas our volunteer stewards assist with include:

  • Working in campsites, arenas, on gates, fire towers, and wristband exchanges.
  • Our stewards are the eyes and ears of an event; trained to be proactive and alert to any potential problem.
  • Promoting crime awareness and crime prevention to the public.
  • Working with onsite teams to ensure medical, fire and security issues are dealt with promptly and safely.
  • Helping to prevent overcrowding and on hand to monitor crowd safety.
  • Assisting the public to create an environment where they feel safe.
  • Directing the public, assisting with ingress and egress to help the process run smoothly and effectively.
  • Supporting your ticket holders, providing information about the event including facilities and performances to ensure they have the best possible time at your event.

Watch event interviews

If you'd like to hear from some of our event volunteers make sure you check out our event volunteer interviews!

In our event interviews you'll get to hear the experiences of event staff and volunteers who have joined us, talking about how they found their shifts, how they were treated by the Hotbox Events team at the events they've worked at, taking on more responsibility year on year and progressing from an event volunteer to staff role, and even how the experience and confidence gained working at events has helped with their career progression away from events!

I attended Leeds festival 2015. I found the experience so tremendous. You cannot image the excitement you are about to receive. One minute you are standing in empty fields and suddenly you are just overwhelmed with people coming through, with wonderful smiles on their faces while we helped them with their luggage. The staff were wonderful, they couldn't do any more for us than they did. The other volunteers were also amazing people. My shifts always put a wonderful smile on my face. I was expecting my night-shift to be very boring, but I found it very exciting and it was my best shift! See you all in 2016!
