Gates
During Festival and limited Pre Festival

Our Gates team welcome patrons, volunteers, staff and contractors as they enter the festival. You’ll be responsible for ensuring that everyone has the appropriate accreditation to enter the different zones of the Festival, and you’ll work closely with security.

Who

This team needs responsible, friendly folk with good communication and interpersonal skills. You’ll often be the first point of contact for people, so enthusiasm for customer service is a must.

When

The Gates team runs from the 24th (the day before the Festival) to 29th of March, from 8am-12am.
Volunteers working during the Festival are required to complete 20 hours of work. There are limited Pre Festival shifts and those working Pre Fest will be required to do more than 20 hours.

How

All volunteers must complete the online safety induction as part of their application. Some teams may require additional training or briefings before the Festival. If this applies to your role, your Team Coordinator will advise you. Volunteers should also read any role-specific information or guides provided by their Coordinator.
