Volunteering at Smoked & Uncut

We’ll once again be joining forces with our friends from Belu in our converted horsebox water bar, where we'll be providing filtered water refills, selling reusable bottles and Belu drinks, and talking to people about our work.

We'll also be keeping composting toilets across the site clean, tidy, and a joy to use!

What to expect

Smoked & Uncut events are much smaller than most of our festivals, with a more relaxed pace – they're perfect if you’ve not volunteered with us before, or if you’re not such a fan of festival camping!

I thought I’d break myself in gently by doing a smaller festival, and I’m actually really glad I did as it was a brilliant experience! The other volunteers were really good company and we soon became a brilliant team.

If you volunteer for the full weekend, you'll camp in a designated area with the rest of the WaterAid team; if you can’t commit to a whole weekend, or don’t want to camp, you can choose to volunteer for just the Saturday instead.

How to apply

Applications to join us this summer have now closed.

We're currently reviewing all applications and will be in touch with everyone by the end of April at the latest.

Once we've allocated places from the current round of applications, we may still have spaces available – in which case, we'll re-open applications. Keep an eye on this page, and join our Festival Volunteering Facebook group, for all the latest updates.
