Volunteering at Deer Shed

Deer Shed Festival volunteers play an important part in creating our special festival feeling; from stewarding and ticketing to workshop activities and scient tent support - there are lots of ways you can get involved to help us create a fantastic weekend for all!

As a volunteer, you’ll get a taste of how a festival operates behind-the-scenes, and whether you volunteer solo or with your family and friends, you’ll meet new people and learn new skills.

If you’re over 18, you can sign up to be a volunteer HERE!

We love seeing our returning volunteers, as well welcoming new faces each year – and it doesn’t matter if you haven’t got any previous volunteer experience, we’re just looking for anyone helpful, hardworking and reliable. If this sounds like a bit of you, please read on...

• You will be required to work 8 hours, either in one full shift or spilt into 2 x 4-hour shifts (this is A LOT LESS than most festivals require, as we want you to have plenty of quality time with friends and family, or to do some solo exploring)
• In return for your volunteering, you will be able to attend Deer Shed for the price of a small admin fee (£25) – that’s a pretty good deal!

Information for all volunteers (returning & new):

• To volunteer with us you must have a volunteer ticket, not a standard weekend ticket. Please do not purchase a weekend ticket via the website; volunteer tickets are arranged separately via email.
• To volunteer you must be 18 or older when you arrive on site.
• All volunteers, returning and new, are required to pay a non-refundable admin £25 fee. This covers your registration and provides a commitment to volunteering with us.
• As a volunteer you still need to purchase additional tickets for your parking, family, campervan, caravan or trailer tent. Camping in a tent is, as always, free of charge.

New Volunteers:

If you are a new volunteer, you will be required to pay a non-refundable admin fee of £25 and a volunteer deposit ticket for £120 which is refunded to you post-festival on the successful completion of your shifts.

Already purchased a standard ticket? Don’t fret!

If you have already purchased a standard ticket and would like to volunteer, we will arrange for you to purchase a volunteer deposit ticket and then refund your standard ticket. Once the festival is over and you’ve completed your shifts, we will refund your volunteer ticket.
