Festival volunteer registration 2024
Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer with Bathing under the Sky. Volunteering with us is a great opportunity to get an insight into what it is like to work at a festival, meet new people, learn new skills and have fun. Before you apply there are a couple of things we need to mention:
º It is important that you understand that this is a very fast paced work environment. Anyone can volunteer and you don’t need to have any experience or skills. However, a positive attitude towards your fellow team members and our customers as well as willingness to work hard is paramount to providing our service.
º We understand that you want to enjoy the festival outside of your working hours, however, you will be expected to turn up to your shifts well rested and able to perform your duties to the highest standard.
º At the beginning of the festival there will be a staff briefing for all crew. All volunteers will be required to attend without exception. Time spent at the briefing will not count towards your shift. Briefings last max. 1 hour.
º You will work a maximum of 4 x 6 hour shifts during a 4 day festival. If you are late for your shift, you will have to stay later to make up for the missed time. You will have a 20 minute break during your shift.
º Spa opening hours are usually 9am-9pm. At Wilderness we open until 10pm and you may work 1 or more late shifts. You will receive your shift pattern on site each day.
º You will need to pay a deposit to secure your space. This will be refunded upon completion of all your shifts.
º You will need to bring your own tent/camping equipment to stay in. You will be able to pitch in the festival crew camp area or in general camping. You should also bring sensible footwear and waterproof clothes.
º We are not able to help with your transport to/from festival and are not able to help with the cost of travel. We can however put you in touch with other volunteers who may be able to offer you a lift.
º DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE DURING SHIFTS ARE NOT TOLERATED.
Once you have submitted your answers we will put you on the waiting list for your chosen festival/s. Volunteers joining us for more than one festival will be given a preference if the event fills up. We will contact you again 10 weeks before the first festival and ask you to process the deposit payment no later than within 1 week of receiving the link. Your festival space will be guaranteed when you pay the deposit and you will then receive a Volunteer Handbook. Festival accreditation will be sent closer to the event.
We really look forward to hearing from you!
