Volunteers to steward for the festival are welcome at a reduced ticket price which includes free indoor or outdoor camping — and a great experience. The number of stewards is limited but more hands may indeed make our work lighter. Please apply as soon as possible if you would like to be considered, and, if selecting indoor camping, please indicate if you are prepared to share with others (the school provides only 18 rooms and we offer performers this option to help reduce festival costs).
As a steward, you will be asked to work the equivalent of 3 sessions (each morning, afternoon or evening being a session). You may elect to work double sessions (6) in return for a free weekend ticket. We now need three more volunteers who can commit to early arrival (2.30pm) on Friday, to help set-up until 5.30pm, which together with 2 other sessions will also earn a free weekend ticket.
Help with clearing up on Monday is also appreciated — we are normally done by 5-5.15pm. Your stewarding slots will be arranged in consultation with you, so you get to steward at many of the events you most enjoy. While we want you to host the event that you are stewarding and look after the performers and dancers, we do not expect our stewards to miss out on the dancing. On the contrary, we encourage them to join in as much as possible. We believe that engaged stewards make the best stewards!
Stewards will receive a free T-shirt, which each year will be advertising the next year's festival, and free hot drinks in the stewards' office — bring your own mug!
