How it works

Volunteering at day festivals gives you the opportunity to be part of the festival experience, soak up the atmosphere, and meet lots of new people.

Roles at day shows mostly involve welcoming the public into the festival, scanning tickets, or supporting on accessibility platforms.

Just like at our weekend festivals, you'll have access to free tea and coffee, crew-only toilets, and a food voucher to use at the festival.

Please note that there are no camping facilities available at this festival.

Shifts

There will be two options available to you when signing up to volunteer at Gunnersbury:

  • a ‘day shift’, finishing before the headline act
  • a ‘late shift’, finishing after the headline act

If you’re signing up to see the headliner, please make sure choose the day shift. If you’re volunteering primarily to raise funds for Oxfam or gain an extra priority point, we’d really appreciate you selecting the late shift where possible.

About the Volunteer Roles

As a festival steward, you’ll be part of the team that keeps the event running smoothly and safely. From welcoming people at the gates and checking tickets, to supporting festivalgoers on the accessibility platforms, you’ll play a vital role in creating a great experience for everyone.

It’s a varied, hands-on role that’s perfect if you enjoy being helpful, meeting people, and being at the heart of the festival.

Impact: For every stewarding shift you work, the festival pays Oxfam for your time. That means every hour you give, is raising money to support communities around the world who are fighting against poverty.

Find out more

You’ll spend your day chatting with festivalgoers, sharing the stories behind Oxfam’s latest campaigns, and inspiring people to take simple but powerful actions - like signing a petition - that can make a global difference.

It’s a brilliant role if you love talking to people, being out and about, and want to be part of something meaningful while soaking up the festival atmosphere.

Impact: Campaigning at festivals helps us raise awareness of key global issues, brings in new supporters for Oxfam, and helps us put names and voices behind the campaigns we take to governments.
