Volunteering
Interested in coming to the Festival for free? Then why not volunteer? Its great fun, great experience and a great opportunity!

The Big Tent wouldn't be able to go ahead if it wasn't for our dedicated team on volunteers who work from the build up to the festival, through the festival itself, right down to dismantling the infrastructure afterwards.

Jobs range from Stewarding, Ticket Sales, Litter picking, Merchandise sales, though to crowd control.

You'll get free entry to the festival and a chance to mix and mingle with some great up coming talent, and free food vouchers for the hours you're working.

So why not?!

If you are interested - please contact Lesley on lesley@centreforstewardship.org.uk or alternatively visit our website at www.bigtentfestival.co.uk
