HOTBOX CAMPSITE AND ARENA VOLUNTEERS

Volunteer with Hotbox Events at Rockstar Energy presents Leeds Festival and, not only will you be helping other festival-goers get the most out of their weekend, but you’ll also get to go behind the scenes, meet other volunteers from around the world and make new friends, gain valuable experience for your CV and have a whole lot of fun while helping us continue to make Leeds one of the best festivals in the world!

When joining us as a volunteer at Leeds, you’ll be provided with entry to the festival (including lots of free time to enjoy it), as well as free staff parking and camping, free wi-fi and phone charging close to your tent, free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, toilets, showers, and access to staff catering!

Hotbox Events volunteers work 3x 8-hour shifts, spread across the festival from the Wednesday to Monday, which means you’ll still get loads of time off to enjoy yourself! All volunteers are guaranteed at least two of the main festival evenings off to watch the bands and at least a 16-hour break (usually much longer!) between shifts. You’ll also get to select your shift preferences in advance, meaning you can make sure you’re not working when your favourite artists are playing!

As Hotbox Event volunteers assist in a wide variety of areas, it’s tricky to list everything they get up to, but some of the most common roles include…

• Helping festival-goers in the campsites and arena.
• Answering questions about festival performances and line-ups.
• Helping festival-goers carry their belongings and pitch their tents.
• Reporting any problems, such as a build-up of litter or faulty facilities.
• Working alongside Rockstar Energy presents Leeds Festival Fire Safety, Medical and Security teams.
• Keeping an eye on the festival campsites from the fire towers.
• Helping out with various roles across the festival site, including at pedestrian and vehicle gates, wristband exchanges, facilities sites, walkways and even stages!

Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end poverty.

By joining our team of volunteer stewards this summer, you’ll be helping to raise around £1 million towards our life-saving work, while also having an amazing time at Leeds.

At Leeds our stewards cover the arena and gates over 3 x 8 hour shifts, 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.

You can use your volunteering deposit (which is refunded to you after the festival once you have completed your shifts) to sign up to as many festivals as you like with us this year at no additional cost. Plus, if you volunteer with us at two or more festivals this year, you’ll get ‘Priority’ for next year. This means you can grab a place at any of our 2024 festivals before we open applications to the public!

More info to come February 2024. Register your interest to find out when applications open or join our Facebook group to meet fellow volunteers and stay in the loop.

Volunteering is a great way to see a whole new side to the festival. You’ll have a great time, meet new people and help some awesome causes. What do you get when you volunteer?

Each volunteer opportunity comes with different roles, so pick whatever takes your fancy and get in touch with them now!
