Stewarding



Do you want to enjoy IVFDF 2012 for cheap, and get a free exclusive Tshirt, whilst helping the festival to run as smoothly as possible? Then consider signing up to be a steward for the weekend! In return for donating approximately 10 hours of your time to the festival you will be refunded your festival pass and gain a free steward-exclusive TshirtIf you'd like to help the festival run smoothly but only have a few hours to spare you can commit to doing one or two stewarding shift (3 - 6 hours) in return for a free steward- exclusive Tshirt and a partial refund.



Stewarding can be a great way of meeting new people, especially if you're planning on coming to IVFDF alone. Most stewarding duties are not very strenuous and allow you to enjoy an element of the festival whilst helping us.


In order to apply to become a steward you shall purchase a weekend ticket and select that you want to be a steward. If you require an indoor camping space, you can also book it there and then as well. When you have successfully completed your stewarding duties your ticket purchase discount will be refunded (but not the camping, merchandises and any booking fee). 


If you have any queries about stewarding at IVFDF 2012,  please email [email protected].

Thank you to all the stewards who volunteered, we now have reached our capacity and have all the shifts covered. Now, just come and enjoy the festival!
