A free, fun and impactful way to enjoy festivals in the UK and Ireland. Drive golf buggies, serve drinks across the main arenas or help run our family hubs. All whilst raising funds for life-saving maternal health charity Child.org.
What’s in it for you?
Experience brilliant festivals - with a fantastic team - for free!
All our volunteers work short shifts and enjoy plenty of time off to enjoy the festival.
Camp together in our Concierge campsite with access to staff showers and loos.
Groups welcome - we’ll do our very best to ensure you work the same shifts as your friends.
Spend the weekend hanging out with a bunch of fun, passionate people of all ages and backgrounds who want to make the world a better place.
Don’t spend any of your precious festival time guarding a gate in a far-away car park. Our concierge roles are some of the most exciting around: buggy driving? Drinks serving whilst the acts are playing? Click below to find out more about our volunteer roles.
“The friendliest team, incredible music and an amazing charity! No better way to spend a weekend!”
“The best festival volunteering gig going!”
Yes, check out our festivals list for the festivals we are recruiting volunteers for, and the roles available. You can then sign up to volunteer at your choice of festival and you'll receive further instructions and next steps.
Volunteers will be working day shifts in small teams. We usually ask you to do three shifts per festival and each shift is typically eight hours long. All shifts finish before the main headline set. We can't give you a choice of shift, but we'll try to keep you with friends. We will aim to let you know your shifts a few weeks before the festival, however the shifts are subject to change at any time.
When you register, there is a space for you to enter the names of other people you'd like to be on shift with. We can't guarantee that you will be with everyone you sign up with, but will do our best to accommodate all requests.
Please note: if you are signing up as a group and would like to be buggy drivers, one or two members of your group will need to be group crew (you can alternate between roles over the course of the weekend).
You must be on site the afternoon of the day before before the public arrive (please check individual event pages for specific dates and days). You can leave the site any time after your last shift finishes.
The festival designates a camping space to Charity Concierge volunteers. This space sits within the festival’s overall staff camping site and has access to toilets and showers.
When you register through the links on the festival pages and pay your deposit, you are automatically added to the volunteer list for that festival - there's no application or interview process. We reserve the right to remove you from the list in certain circumstances, though. For more information get in touch.
You will automatically be accepted to the festival when you pay your deposit, so unless you hear otherwise, your registration is automatically successful.
If you have mitigating circumstances that mean you are unable to attend the festival, and you let us know at least 3 weeks before the festival date, we may be able to recover most of the charity's costs and issue you with a deposit refund. However this will be decided on a case-by-case basis, entirely at the discretion of Child.org staff. If you find you are unable to attend a festival you have committed to, please get in touch with us as soon as possible.
