Stewards

We are currently looking for stewards to assist us at this year’s Folk on the Farm festival. The main role of our festival stewards is to ensure that our guests have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Stewards provide practical assistance helping with everything from parking and checking tickets to regulating the campsite and setting up the stage.

Stewards are asked to work between 10 and 12 hours over the weekend on a rota basis, in return they will receive a free festival ticket.

If you would like to apply to be a steward this year please complete the form below and we’ll get back to you with further details.
