Stewarding at Day Shows
Day festivals are a great way to experience festival volunteering and the Oxfam community without committing to a week away from home. Most of the day festivals are new to Oxfam for 2025 so we can’t confirm specific timings at this point. You will receive confirmed information by email no later than two weeks before you are due to volunteer. Please make sure you read all the pre-festival information emails carefully.
How long will my shift be?
Your shifts will be no longer than 8 hours long.
What time do I need to be there?
This will vary depending on what times the gates open at each festival. You should expect to be onsite around 2 hours before the gates open to the public to make sure there is plenty of time for you to register and attend a briefing. Gate opening times can be found on the festival organisers website. Your exact arrival time will be confirmed two weeks before the show.
Will I get to see the headliner?
Your shifts will be arranged so you can see the headline act
Is there parking?
Please check each festival’s info page for parking information. Where there is staff parking available it is very limited and we would encourage people to use public transport or car share and only request a parking pass if you really need one.
Can I camp?
There is no camping or accommodation provided at any day festivals this year.
What facilities are available?
Every volunteer will get a meal voucher, access to staff toilets and a break area to make tea and coffee.
Do day festivals count towards priority?
Yes, each day festival will accrue 1 point towards priority. Read more here.
