Festival and Event Staff

Hotbox Events recruits and manages festival and event staff for festivals across the UK.

The first event we worked with was Leeds Festival in 2003, since then we've grown from supplying a small team of just 6 staff to over three thousand stewards every year!

If you run a festival or event and would like more information about the festival and event staff Hotbox Events can provide please contact us.

Our festival and event staffing experience

Our management team has been recruiting and managing festival and event staff across the UK since the early 90s.

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

Major D A O’Connor MBE MInst RE

I wanted to send you a quick note to express how amazing your staff were this weekend whilst I volunteered at Download. I have served in the British Army for over three decades and have most likely seen and experienced every kind of leader and supervisor; from toxic through to inspiring, and I honestly believe you have assembled a special set of individuals. They absolutely ensured festival customers were supported as much as possible and also made volunteering a fantastic experience; I suspect that is not far off your companies mission statement.

I clearly do not know everyone who was working for Hotbox during the event but I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff even if I only saw them and did not interact with. I would however like to make you aware of the fantastic performance by some individuals I noted though personal interactions.

Shift Supervisors: I had the pleasure to work with Connor, Sarah and Sam. As someone that has spent a considerable part of his working life ensuring every one understands the mission whilst ensuring the workforce is also looked after, I was very impressed with the enthusiasm and energy the supervisors displayed and the performance each delivered. The constant monitoring of their workforces welfare and total professionalism throughout was fantastic. I would like to highlight how amazingly well, Sarah managed a diverse crew of volunteers and also a complicated welfare/medical situation during our shift. Her entire performance was ‘second to none’. She really felt like a leader and everyone believed in her and her actions.

I hope you can in some way let them know their efforts were appreciated, both in delivering excellent enabling activity and really solid performances as supervisors. I would recommend Hotbox to young or old, male or female, either as a single person or a group as your staff just make the experience work.
