PAID ROLES

We currently don’t have any paid roles available. Updates coming soon…

Due to the vast number of applications received with a relatively small number of paid roles to fill, we won’t be able to respond to everyone.

All of paid roles will involve hard work and not much time off during the festival period. If you’d prefer an alternative role which allows you to enjoy more of the festival, check our our volunteers section.

Previous festival or events experience is beneficial but not essential, if you’re enthusiastic, have good time and organisational skills then we’d love to hear from you.
