Donington Park is the spiritual home of rock music!
The Roles
As a Wicked Volunteer at Download, you'll be taking on the role of "Facilities Monitor."
You'll be walking the site as part of a small team, supported by a Wicked Manager, to report on the conditions of the toilets, showers and general facilities across the site.
This is a physically demanding role - Download is a big site - expect a lot of walking!
Shifts are 0800 - 1400 and 1400 - 2000 Wednesday to Sunday, and you'll be required to work 3 shifts.
You'll get early entry (from Tuesday) and access to the crew campsite.
Download festival is open to returning volunteers, and will require a £125 "top-up" to your £75 deposit (or a £200 deposit if you aren't coming to anything else this year!)
If you're shortlisted for Download you'll be invited for a short chat to make sure you're happy with the role, and suitable for it. We have a relatively small of site so only the best will be invited!
DO NOT PAY YOUR £125 DOWNLOAD TOP UP OR £200 DEPOSIT BEFORE BEING ACCECPTED.
