Leeds Festival 2023, and its sister event in Reading, will take place between Friday, August 25 and Sunday, August 27. There are still tickets available which you can buy through Ticketmaster and the Leeds Festival website.

Although, if perhaps you can’t stretch to the ticket cost or you just fancy helping out at Bramham Park there are some Leeds Festival volunteer opportunities available. You’ll need to be 18 or over by the time you arrive at the festival site, have proof to volunteer in the UK.

There are currently details about a number of Leeds Festival volunteering opportunities listed on the Leeds Festival website. You see what you can do on site by scrolling below.

Oxfam

The global charity has shifts available as stewards at Bramham Park for Leeds Festival 2023. They state: “At Leeds our stewards cover the arena and gates over three shifts of eight hours. So, you’ll never be far from the action and when you’re not on shift the festival is your oyster.

“You’ll also get access to our secure campsite, with perks like free hot drinks, hot showers, and device charging, and we’ll give you a meal ticket for every shift too.”

To take up an opportunity with Oxfam you’ll need to pay a deposit in advance which will be refunded after your festival shifts are complete. You’ll be able to sign up from March 18. You can find out more here.

Green Team

Environmental group Green Team will also be offering volunteer roles at Leeds Fest. They state: “We’re looking for volunteers who are full of energy, passionate about the environment and enjoy engaging with people about green issues. As a member of our Green Team you will receive a crew wristband, get to camp in crew camping with like-minded people and access to hot showers and nice toilets.

“You will also gain valuable experience in the sustainable events field, whilst taking time to enjoy the festival when not volunteering.” To find out more about working with Green Team email gmessengers@festivalrepublic.com.

Hotbox Events

Another way of volunteering is with Hotbox Events, in collaboration with Leeds Festival, to help with the smooth running of the fun at the site. There’s many roles available across Bramham Park to help do this.

They include:

Helping those in campsites
Answering questions about festival performances and line ups
Helping carry belongings for those attending Leeds Festival and pitching their tents
Reporting any problems such as litter or faulty facilities
Working alongside Leeds Festival fire safety, medical and security teams
Keeping an eye on the festival campsites from the fire towers
