ARRIVAL ON SITE

Please arrive on Tuesday 12th August between 13:00 and 19:00.

Please sign in before setting up. On arrival please report to the Volunteer Manager at the Wristband Exchange with your photo ID to sign in. You can then find a space to camp.

If you cannot arrive in this window but still wish to volunteer then please contact volunteering@arctangent.co.uk.

VOLUNTEER BRIEFING

A briefing will take place on Tuesday 13th August at 20:00. Please make sure you arrive before then. The briefing will inform you of everything you need to know about the festival and your duties as a steward. Part of the briefing will include a walk around the festival site.

The briefing ensures that ArcTanGent fulfils it's licence to operate. Anyone who misses the briefing will not be able to steward and therefore will not be able to enter the festival. If you are under the influence of alcohol you will be dismissed from the briefing and will not be able to steward.
 
UNIFORM

Stewards do not have a uniform but will be required to wear a hi-vis vest, which you collect when reporting for your shift and return when you finish your shift.

Please ensure you dress appropriately for the weather. Not all stewarding posts will have shelter, so consider wet-weather gear for the rain, sturdy footwear, and sunscreen and hats for the sunshine.

RULES

As stewards you are bound by the same rules as those who have bought a ticket to attend the festival.

BY SUBMITTING THIS FORM YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE ABOVE. Once you have paid your deposit please take that as confirmation that you are on the stewarding team!

You will receive an email closer to the festival with all the details required to undertake your stewarding role.

All of the information provided to ArcTanGent will be used for administration purposes only and will not be shared by any third party. Please consult our data policy for more information.
