Beverley Folk Festival Volunteer Call Out

  • Written by 

Beverley Folk Festival has launched an appeal for more volunteers to work at this year’s festival on Beverley Racecourse between June 19 and 21.

Festival Administrator and Volunteer Coordinator Laura Whitewood explains that “We’re looking for music fans who might be willing to help out on the festival site in exchange for free tickets.”

There are a few positions that you can apply for, these include: helping set up the festival site beforehand, clearing up afterwards, working on the box office and information desk, stewarding the various performance venues, selling merchandise, campsite and traffic control and being part of the Green Team.

In exchange for 12 hours help over the festival period, volunteers (who must be over 18) receive a free weekend pass, allowing access to all the performances and events, including the headline concerts. Camping passes worth £20 are also provided for those wishing to stop on site for the weekend. Not a bad deal if I say so myself.

Laura continues: “We need dozens of volunteers to help in vital roles to ensure the festival runs smoothly, but they also get plenty of time off to enjoy the festival.

“They also have an opportunity to gain transferable skills, make new friends and see top acts from the UK and overseas.”
