NEW VOLUNTEER APPLICATION FORM 2025
Hi
Thanks for taking the time to apply to volunteer at Warwick Folk Festival 2025. We are excited to be returning to our fantastic festival site below Warwick Castle, and pleased that you would like to join the team. We are almost up to capacity, so you may be put on the reserve team for now and reallocated if people drop out or cancel.
IF YOU HAVE VOLUNTEERED FOR US SINCE 2021 YOU WILL ALREADY BE REGISTERED ON THE SYSTEM – PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FORM!
We have automatically sent update forms to all registered volunteers – if your email has changed then you may not have received it. Please contact us by email (volunteers@warwickfolkfestival.co.uk) to advise your new email address and we will resend your personal form.
New applications are being accepted for the following teams:
Traffic/people management:
Traffic control (gates, car parking)
Festival Welcome Team (checking tickets at main entrances and looking after pedestrian access points;
Campsite Marshalls (assisting people to find camping spots, checking the roadways are kept clear;
and Warwick Wombles (site tidy team, litter picking and stocking up of toilet blocks with loo rolls)
We have very few vacancies elsewhere but you are welcome to express your interest in joining the venue teams should the opportunity arise.
If you have good IT skills and are confident in handling payments (including cash), please indicate this as it is a requirement for Box Office and Information volunteers.
All volunteers require a photo, which should be attached to your application, making sure it clearly shows your face (preferably smiling) without any shadows or reflections and preferably on a plain, light coloured background.
Job Descriptions for the various volunteering roles can be found on the website.
What happens next?
You will receive an automatic confirmation when your application is received.
Preparation of shift allocations is underway and rotas are sent out 4 weeks prior to the festival.
Any additional passes required (eg. Early Access) will be sent around 15th July.
Looking forward to seeing you at the next, fabulous, Warwick Folk Festival! For updates to artists and other news, do subscribe to the Festival newsletter, via the website.
If you have any other questions/queries please let us know by emailing volunteers@warwickfolkfestival.com.
Do bear in mind that, due to my work commitments, I am unable to attend to festival emails every day, so a response might not be instant.
Thanks and best wishes
Sheila
Volunteer Co-ordinator
