What our volunteers do
All volunteers at Camp Bestival will be helping to run the Good Loos, our ever-popular composting toilets.
As part of a small team, you’ll be responsible for:
- keeping the toilets clean and tidy between uses,
- taking donations from people who use the loos,
- talking to festivalgoers about WaterAid’s work.
NB: this role involves cleaning, carrying cleaning equipment, and going up and down stairs.
What it's like to volunteer at Camp Bestival
You'll complete four shifts of six hours; the rest of the time, you're free to explore the festival – and with an eclectic musical lineup, inclusive activities and welcoming atmosphere, there's plenty to enjoy!
All volunteers camp in the dedicated WaterAid section of the crew campsite, with access to facilities including showers, toilets, a communal marquee, and tea/coffee/hot drinks. You'll receive a meal for every day you have a shift – we'll let successful volunteers know more details on catering arrangements nearer the time.
