Volunteer

Would you like to volunteer at BunkFest in 2025?

We are once again on the lookout for volunteers to help us in running the festival.

BunkFest wouldn’t be the vibrant celebration it is without the dedication of all our volunteers. From bar staff and litter pickers to bucket collectors, those who ensure the safety and happiness of our BunkFesters, and the many others working behind the scenes – they truly are the beating heart of the festival. Their hard work and commitment make everything come together, and we couldn’t do it without them!

We are seeking volunteers to assist with setting up and taking down the festival during the week before and after the event. There will be various roles available, including fence erection, laying trackway, supporting the tech crew, and clearing the site once the festival concludes.

If you’re interested, please tick the appropriate boxes on the volunteer registration form, and we will provide you with more information. Dates for the build will be from the 23/08/25 to the 29/08/25 and for the take down will 01/09/25 to the 05/09/25.

If you can spare anything from a couple of hours or more, then please follow the link where you can register your interest.
