Take Part

Much of the proceeds from Galtres Festival are donated to local charities and community groups, so volunteers' time and energy helps us to raise even more money for good causes. As a volunteer steward you’ll have a tremendously good time working with a great team, and will be proud to be part of a wonderful event. You will also get in for free, earn food and drink, and get paid £50 travel expenses.

Volunteer stewards scheme - under this scheme you get free entry to the festival for committing to work three six-hour shifts over the festival weekend - usually one each day. The work is varied but typically involves helping and directing the public, working at entry and exit points, helping at info and merchandise points, etc. This scheme is managed by Green Stewards, and you will need to register with them on their website, where you will also be able to register to work other festivals. You will need to pay a deposit which will be refunded to you after the festival provided you have turned up for your shifts. You will get food and drink while working. We also lay on coach transport for stewards to help you get to and from the festival (eg from Hull, York University), or can give you tickets to the coaches running between the festival and York. Alternatively, if you prefer to make your own way, we'll pay you £50 travelling expenses.
