Glastonbury 2019

Applications to volunteer with WaterAid at Glastonbury 2019 have now closed.

WaterAid has been at Glastonbury since 1994, providing essential services to festivalgoers. Whether you’re at the Pyramid stage, grabbing a free refill at a water kiosk or witnessing the work of our brilliant Loo Crew, you can’t miss us.

All our festival activities are based on our work providing clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, so they help us raise awareness of these global issues as well as vital funds.

See what our volunteers will be up to in 2019
