It’s that time of the year again. Cambridge Rock Festival needs you!
Cambridge Rock Festival survives largely because of the dedication of their unpaid red-shirted volunteers, many of whom come back year after year to help at both the festival and interim “support” events. Whilst technically a business, the festival is run with the aim of providing great music to those who love it, not to make money – you won’t see a heavy commercial presence. But to cover the costs of the festival infrastructure (PA, lights, stages, marquees, site, licences, power supplies, security, their award winning toilets, and much more) they have to keep our costs as low as possible, and that’s where the volunteers come in.
In particular Cambridge Rock Festival need stewards to work alongside their professional security team, for which they offer full briefing sessions. They typically ask volunteers to cover one 4 hour shift per day over a minimum of 2 days (although they like you to be on call at other times just in case they need extra help). They also need volunteers to help set up and break down the festival site too, if this is something you are able to help with they would love to see you!
However Cambridge Rock Festival also need people with other specific but quite varied skills; some volunteers help with cooking or brewing up a cuppa or two backstage, others may be electricians (especially for PAT testing), plumbers, first aid etc. Do just think about all things they have to do (some are mentioned above!) and let us know if you have skills you can offer to them.
