Volunteer at the DOSE Festival! - 18 July 2026

DOSE Fest is a one-day wellbeing festival created to help people reconnect with joy, community and the things that make them feel most alive.

The festival is designed to make wellbeing feel accessible and real, with activities that include workshops, movement, creative sessions, calm spaces, stalls and supportive community experiences.

Volunteers help bring that experience to life.

They support the smooth running of the festival, welcome attendees, help people find the right spaces and contribute to a safe, positive and inclusive atmosphere across the site. We are looking for a working volunteer team of around 20 people to support areas such as parking, the information desk, tidy-up support, zones, stage support, quiet outdoor spaces and children’s or art activities.

What volunteers may do

• Volunteer tasks may include:
• Greeting and directing attendees.
• Supporting the information point.
• Helping with parking and arrival flow.
• Assisting activity zones and stage areas.
• Supporting quiet or reflective spaces.
• Helping with children’s trail, arts and crafts or family-friendly activities.
• Keeping shared areas tidy, stocked and welcoming.
• Spotting welfare or safeguarding concerns and reporting them quickly.

Skills

This opportunity may suit people who are:

• Friendly, calm and approachable.
• Reliable and comfortable working as part of a team.
• Interested in wellbeing, community or events.
• Confident speaking with the public.
• Willing to follow instructions and safety procedures.
• Respectful of people from all backgrounds and experiences.

Festival welfare volunteering guidance highlights the value of volunteers who are non-judgmental, understanding, able to chat to people and willing to learn as part of a team. Those qualities are especially important in a wellbeing-focused festival environment.
