Festival jobs and volunteering at the best events in the UK! We recruit and manage staff and volunteers for UK festivals and events.

Our first event was Leeds Festival in 2003, since then we've grown from a small team of just 6 volunteers to over three thousand staff and volunteers every year! Our management team has been recruiting and managing staff and volunteers for music festivals and live events since the early 90s. We recruit and manage teams of up to 850 at our current events, working in the campsites, on fire towers, gates, wristband exchanges and in the arenas.

In 23 years of Hotbox Events we've seen a LOT.

Hotbox marriages, engagements, babies and just about everything in between, it takes something pretty special for there to be a genuine Hotbox first...

But today we have one, the first ever Hotbox logo TATTOO! 🖤🔥

Who would have thought when our Latitude and Leeds Festival late shift manager, Matt, started out as a solo volunteer at Leeds Fest in 2010, that 16 years later he'd be committing to a lifetime of wearing the Hotbox logo?

Now the big question...

Are there more Hotbox tattoos out there? Or is Matt officially the first? 👀

Festival season might be over but things haven't slowed down for us just yet...

We're still working as fast as we can to return all of the Reading and Leeds festival volunteer deposits!

Can you do us a favour? 👀

Please check your address in PAAM is up to date! 🏡

This is especially important if you're a student and have changed uni accommodation over the summer! 🏢

Deposits are returned as cheques sent to the address in your PAAM Profile within 30 days of the last day of the last festival you applied to join us at each year, so please keep an eye on your letterboxes around the end of September! 📮

It only takes a couple of minutes to check your address is up to date and can mean you get your deposit back much sooner than if it goes to your old house instead!

🚨Important Reading & Leeds arrival info! 🚨

Before arriving at the festival you'll receive an email from Eventree with a link to the Reading & Leeds Health & Safety Induction. Please complete the induction before you arrive onsite as this will speed up accreditation.

Please keep an eye on your spam folder for the email. If you don't receive the email, don't worry - it can be sorted onsite.

The Eventree email and H&S induction is generic and sent to all crew working onsite across all companies. Some of the information may contradict information in your Hotbox Events info pack in the PAAM Portal - where this is the case, please refer to your Hotbox Events info pack.

Examples of this include:
🔴 You need to bring your proof of right to work in the UK (not just photo ID as the Eventree email notes). A driving license is NOT proof of your right to work in the UK!
🔴 You do not need to bring a hi-vis with you - we will provide them.
🔴 You do not need to wear a hi-vis at all times onsite. You only need to wear a hi-vis on shift or if exploring the festival site before it's open to the public - we have hi-vis you can borrow for this.

Drop any other queries in the comments below and we'll do our best to advise on them 😊

Wondering how selecting shift preferences works when you apply close to the event? 🤔

Don't worry - you still get to pick you shifts to make sure you're off-shift for the artists you'd like to see! 🙌

Whether you're a die hard Lewis Capaldi fan, or you're hoping to spend each afternoon at the comedy tent, once your Latitude Festival volunteer place has been confirmed you can log in to your Hotbox Events PAAM account and select your shift preferences!

If you get your preferences in nice and early, you'll be included in the main volunteer shift allocation over the next few days. Applying a little later? No problem! You'll still be able to rank all 26 shift patterns from most to least preferred, and we'll do our very best to allocate you the highest possible choice based on availability 💓

Latitude Festival volunteer applications have reopened, so apply now to join us there for one of the best weekends of the year! 💃
