All our volunteers this year will be helping to keep toilets clean, tidy, and a pleasure to use!

Whichever role you take on, a key part of it is talking to festivalgoers, raising awareness of WaterAid and highlighting the importance of decent toilets and good hygiene – for everyone, everywhere.

What it's like to volunteer at Camp Bestival

All volunteers camp in the WaterAid campsite, with access to toilets, showers and crew catering. You’ll be able to claim back expenses for one meal per day that you have a shift.*

When you're not on shift, you're free to explore the rest of the festival – with their eclectic musical line-ups, inclusive activities, and welcoming atmosphere, there's plenty to enjoy at both Lulworth Castle and Weston Park!

*Exact arrangements are subject to change; we'll be in touch with successful applicants to confirm details.

The atmosphere is great – everyone's passionate about the same cause and it's the perfect place to promote WaterAid's work.
