Volunteers...
Why Volunteer? Volunteers are crucial to the festival and help to make it so special. Apart from playing a part in one of the teams that look after festival-goers and help to make the event run smoothly, volunteering is a chance to meet and work with like-minded people. Then after your shifts are finished, enjoy the music, comedy, workshops and unique atmosphere of Larmer Tree!
We recruit around 400 volunteers each year, covering no less than 18 different roles, before, during and after the festival. Here are some comments from last year's volunteers...
"Stewarding went extremely well and I thoroughly enjoyed the festival. The pre-festival admin, rotas, reporting arrangements and team work were first class. A special mention for our team leaders - their cheerfulness, commitment to ensuring rotas worked in practice and support for the teams under their control was impressive. Well done to them." Alan Wright (Steward)
"I have been to many festivals in my time and Larmer Tree was a new experience for me. Great music, no rubbish, lots of visual stimulation and friendly people. Well done is all I can say!" Peter Sheriff (Steward)
"What a wonderful festival, a credit to everyone involved in the organisation. We had such fun even when we were working! Lovely festival-goers kept thanking me for doing such a good job. I became really proud of doing it and enjoyed getting to know the team, and Gordon was a joy to work for. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be there, I met so many really genuine people who I hope to see again next year." Kris Costalas (Recycling Volunteer)
