There are currently details about a number of Leeds Festival volunteering opportunities listed on the Leeds Festival website. You see what you can do on site by scrolling below.
Oxfam
The global charity has shifts available as stewards at Bramham Park for Leeds Festival 2023. They state: “At Leeds our stewards cover the arena and gates over three shifts of eight hours. So, you’ll never be far from the action and when you’re not on shift the festival is your oyster.
“You’ll also get access to our secure campsite, with perks like free hot drinks, hot showers, and device charging, and we’ll give you a meal ticket for every shift too.”
To take up an opportunity with Oxfam you’ll need to pay a deposit in advance which will be refunded after your festival shifts are complete. You’ll be able to sign up from March 18. You can find out more here.
Green Team
Environmental group Green Team will also be offering volunteer roles at Leeds Fest. They state: “We’re looking for volunteers who are full of energy, passionate about the environment and enjoy engaging with people about green issues. As a member of our Green Team you will receive a crew wristband, get to camp in crew camping with like-minded people and access to hot showers and nice toilets.
“You will also gain valuable experience in the sustainable events field, whilst taking time to enjoy the festival when not volunteering.” To find out more about working with Green Team email gmessengers@festivalrepublic.com.
