If you're volunteering with us at Latitude Festival your volunteering shifts have now been assigned, you can order your meal vouchers, and your info packs are ready!
You can find out which shift pattern you're on by logging into Hotbox Events PAAM
Your shift is shown on your Latitude Event Info page.
Please note that if you've only just had your Latitude volunteer position confirmed then your shift may still be pending. We're assigning new volunteer shifts daily so please check back for an update!
You can now login to order your meal vouchers!
This year, Latitude Crew Catering will be keeping us fed and watered!
Latitude Crew Catering will be based in the main crew area, close to where our compound is based, serving a variety of hot and cold food each day at a greatly discounted price compared to the public festival food outlets.
You can pre-order meal vouchers from Hotbox at a further discounted rate of £4.80 per voucher, or pay £6.00 per voucher if you buy direct from Crew Catering on the day.
To order your Latitude meal vouchers:
Please note the deadline for pre-ordering meal vouchers is Monday 19th July.
The Hotbox compound will house a large marquee with tables, chairs and kettles; providing 24 hour access to hot tea and coffee! We will be providing some tea, coffee, milk and sugar although PLEASE bring your own mug!
Also, if you tend to drink a lot of tea and coffee please bring some extra supplies as ours won't last forever!

If there is anything you would like to ask or you would just like to chat with us about volunteering, the easiest way is to...
You can connect with us @hotboxevents on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn
If you would like to chat with others who have volunteered with us before head to our Facebook Group and Forum
On Facebook and in our Forum you will find new and returning volunteers chatting about what it is like to volunteer at festivals, arranging to share lifts, asking and answering questions about volunteering at festivals and more...
If you have not volunteered at a festival before and are wondering what it is like, checkout some of our staff and volunteer interviews!
In the interviews you will get to hear from volunteers 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 volunteering solo for the first time, taking on more responsibility year on year and progressing from a volunteer to staff role, and even how the experience and confidence gained has helped with career progression away from festivals!
Another way to see what volunteering 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 volunteering history over the past twenty years!
If you're volunteering with us although unsure about going solo you do not need to worry, every year more than half of those who volunteer with us do so on their own the first time and then return year on year to meet up with friends they have made whilst volunteering!
If you have specific questions about volunteering at festivals try our festival FAQs!
Our festival FAQs are regularly updated and packed full of answers to the questions we are usually asked, plus lots of handy hints and tips about volunteering at festivals.
