One of the ways Leeds Festival runs smoothly is through the dedicated teams of volunteers on the ground at Bramham Park.
Ahead of this summer’s fun, which is running between Friday, 26 August and Sunday, August 28, we have a round up of the volunteering opportunities available. This is part of our aim to bring you everything you need to know about Leeds Festival 2022.
The event will welcome six headline performances from Arctic Monkeys, Dave, Megan Thee Stallion, Rage Against The Machine, Halsey and Bring Me The Horizon. There’s a lot of chances for you to get involved and be part of Leeds Fest.

Campsite and arena
Volunteers assist with a wide variety of areas and it’d be tricky to list everything they get up to but some of the most common roles include:
- Assisting Leeds Festival goers with directions
- Helping Leeds Festival goers carry their belongings and pitch their tents
- Answering questions about Leeds Festival performances and line ups
- Reporting any problems such as a build-up of litter or faulty facilities
- Work alongside Leeds Festival Fire Safety, Medical and Security teams
- Keeping an eye on the Leeds Festival campsites from the fire towers
- Helping out with various roles across the Leeds Festival site including pedestrian and vehicle gates, wristband exchanges, keeping an eye on facilities, monitoring stages and walkways
A spokesperson said: “When joining us as a volunteer at Leeds you’ll be provided with entry to the festival, lots of free time, you’ll make new friends whilst volunteering, get access to staff camping, café, toilets and showers, and most importantly be part of an unforgettable experience.”
For all volunteering, you’ll need to be 18 or over by the time you arrive at the festival site, have proof to volunteer in the UK (contact the respective volunteer organisation or visit their website for more information) and be available to work the shifts allocated to you throughout the weekend.
You can find out more by visiting volunteer agency Hotbox Events.
