State Fayre

As a State Fayre steward, you’ll be part of the team that keeps the festival 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.

Shifts: 3 x 8¼-hour shifts.

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.

When you sign up as a volunteer steward, you will have the option to create a friendship group which lets you link up with up to five friends or family members so we can schedule your shifts at the same time.

Many volunteers join us solo and quickly find themselves part of a warm, welcoming community.

Whether you're in the campsite or on shift, there are plenty of opportunities to meet fellow volunteers and make new friends to explore the festival with.
