2024 Festival Volunteering and Paid Stewarding Event Job Applications open next Friday!

Friday, January 19, 2024

It's been a long and chilly winter but we're back! And ready for a hot summer of festivals! ☀️

We're so excited to be kicking off summer 2024 plans with festival volunteering and paid stewarding event job applications opening at midday next Friday 26th Jan! 🙌

As ever, shift patterns will be allocated based on shift preferences alongside deposit payment date, so make sure you've got your speediest internet ready as it's a battle to get your deposit in as fast as you can to maximise your chances of getting the best possible shifts!

There are volunteering shift patterns that enable you to be off-shift for all of the headliners this year, but these are always the most popular shifts so we recommend applying ASAP when applications open if you'd like a chance to nab one!

If you'd like to be ahead of the game pop over to our application system Hotbox Events PAAM and doublecheck you remember your login and your info is up to date, or you can setup an account if you're planning on joining us for the first time! Then it'll be quick and easy for you come midday Friday 26th Jan when we open!

If you have not joined us at a festival before and are wondering what it is like, check out some of our staff and volunteer interviews!

In the interviews you will get to hear from those 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 working solo for the first time, taking on more responsibility year on year, and even how the experience and confidence gained has helped with career progression away from festivals!

In our festival photo galleries, you will find thousands of photos covering our festival history over the past twenty years!

Going Solo

It's totally normal to be anxious before coming to a festival, particularly if you're coming solo! We get hundreds of messages every year from people wanting to join us but nervous about doing it, so we promise you're not alone! We're a very friendly bunch so if there's anything we can do to reduce your anxiety please get in touch!
