Hi Kim, my first time as a volunteer. What facilities are on the staff campsite? And I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that you get meals on shift is that right? Thanks

You too! It’s nice to know I won’t be the only one going at it for the first time in my own! Haha

Hi Natalie, there is a kettle so you can make brews, porridge, noodles etc. There are power points for battery charging, showers on site, use when free. You get free meal voucher when u r on shift. You can use these when u want at any food venue. Hope this helps, I'm going solo as well. See you there xx

Hi Harriet this will be our third year - it's a great festival you will love it - everyone is so friendly!
Not all traders accept the food vouchers but a lot do - it's a case of asking around. You will meet plenty of people in the camping field before and after your shifts too.

By unprepared what do you mean ? I'm already shitting it as usually my bf sets the tent up and deals with all that so if you see a collapsed heap it's probably me :D

Hey, I’m coming to work here for the first time. I think I’m a wristband steward. Anyone done this before? Will I have to work through the night at all?
look forward to meeting you all!!

Hi Holly, you said you weren't well prepared last year. Just wondering what tips you have for us all to be better prepared? Thanks!

Is anyone traveling from/near Leeds that I could potentially get a lift share with? It would be hugely appreciated :D

Hey. Does anybody know how much alcohol/ food we can take in ? I’ve check on the festival website but it doesn’t really say anything. I mean it says “reasonable “ 😄
