Would you like to experience the Festival from behind the scenes?
It takes a lot of hard work behind the scenes to plan, build and run a Festival!
As a not-for-profit organisation, Wokingham Festival wouldn’t be possible without the help of our wonderful volunteers, and we’re always looking for enthusiastic people to join the fun and be part of our incredible team. In return you gain free access and other perks!
We are recruiting volunteers to support us before, during and after the Festival. We’ve got jobs for all abilities and ages, whether you fancy helping in the car park, on the ticket desk, backstage, in the bar, litter picking, or a whole host of other tasks. Or maybe you just love assembling and disassembling fencing?
We’re a friendly, helpful bunch, and will never ask you to do anything beyond your capabilities.
Some of the volunteer duties that we typically need before and after the Festival include
Leaflet deliveries to local residents (well before the festival)
Setup (Thursday - heavy construction and lifting)
Setup (Friday - mostly physical)
Take down (mostly physical)
During the festival, duties can include
Ticket desk at the gate - sell on-the-day tickets, or check in pre-paid ticket holders. Welcome all our visitors with a smile and wristbands (can be seated when quiet, but standing when busy)
Merch desk (mostly seated)
Bar (standing)
Litter picking and wheelie bin emptying (walking)
Car Park steward (occasional sitting when quiet, but mostly standing / walking)
Silent Disco steward - handing out and collecting headphones (can be seated)
Artist backstage Car Park and Gate steward (can be mostly sitting)
We ask for a minimum of 5 hours of your time in a day, and you’ll be free to make the most of the Festival for the rest of the time. For more details, please see our Volunteer FAQs sheet.
