Volunteer Role & Date Preferences
The majority of our volunteer shifts happen throughout the festival weekend (Fri- Sun) and you are required to volunteer 8 hours of your time. Please note, roles are allocated on a first come, first served basis; we work through applications chronologically and we will be in touch with your shifts in the new year.
Using the grid below, please let us know what type of roles you'd like to do with us, and which days you'd prefer to volunteer during the festival weekend. We'll try our best to find a role that fits - but please be as flexible as possible and understand that shifts are allocated on a first come/first served basis.
These slots now reflect the available shifts.
We also have a very limited number of roles before and after the festival (allocated on a first come, first served basis).If you would like to volunteer pre or post festival, please select which days you are available below. These shifts can require lifting as they are build/break roles. Please ensure you have also selected some alternative shift options during the weekend (via grid above) as we cannot guarantee you will get a slot pre or post festival.

If you are volunteering with others and would like to request shifts together - or require alternating shifts due to childcare - please write their names below and state whether you're requesting the shifts to be together or alternating. We do our best to accommodate your needs but please note shifts are allocated on a first come, first served basis and you may need to be flexible regarding the role type and/or day allocated.
Do you have any additional comments regarding your application? Please include any relevant information here as we use this form to allocate your shift(s) and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to change your shift(s) once allocated. If you have any 'special skills' relevant to volunteering, please include them here!
