• Bluedot Volunteer Application Form

    Bluedot 2023

  • Set beneath the legendary iconic Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank, Bluedot is a festival like no other! There is so much to see and do, from the world’s best-loved headliners to late-night electronica, science talks, award-winning culture, comedy and family fun. 


    Bluedot is taking place from Thursday 20th - Monday 24th July 2023.


    Applications are now open to experience the festival as a volunteer. As a thank you, you will get access to the VIP area so you can enjoy the festival in style when you are not volunteering. If you’d like to stay for the whole weekend you'll also have a spot to pitch a tent in either the general admission or staff campsite along with a free parking space. You will also receive a free meal voucher for each shift that can be redeemed at one of our wonderful food traders.


    All you need to do is complete this simple application form and volunteer on two days across the festival (maximum of 16 hours in total). 


    We are also operating a refer a friend scheme - for every friend or family member you recommend that volunteers with us you will receive a free food or drink voucher to say thank you! 


    We have tried to keep the application process as simple as possible, and we hope this form will not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete. So if you are enthusiastic, helpful and friendly and 18 or over, we’d love to hear from you!

  • Gates Scanning and Wristbanding

    Volunteering as a ticket scanner or wristbander means you get to be the first face the festivalgoers see! You share in the joy of everyone arriving onto site and making it all happen, as well as enjoying all the amazing outfits that will no doubt be on display!

    Luminarium Customer Service Assistants

    Our Luminarium stewards have an experience like no other. The Luminarium is a huge inflatable structure that you can walk around inside. As music plays and natural light streams in through multicolored panels you'll get to enjoy this surreal experience and the entertaining looks on everyone's faces as they explore it too! 

    The Luminarium is only open during the day so it's often in high demand. In this role you would be helping to ensure that everyone gets a chance to enjoy this unusual installation and that both the structure and its guests are looked after!

    Wayfinding

    Our wayfinding stewards do just that! Help our festivalgoers find their way as they explore the beautiful sights and sounds of the event. A nice role for those of you who like to chat and help out where possible.

    Campsites

    Our campsite volunteers assist in a lot of ways! Sometimes it's helping our festivalgoers to find a camping spot, helping to find their way to different areas or helping them out with suggestions of who to see that night. Whatever happens, our campsite volunteers are our eyes and ears on the ground, helping us to keep everything running smoothly.

    Arbouretum & Outer Space Late Night Arts Area 

    The Arboretum is one of the most arty places on site! Filled with all sorts of interesting installations, this role is perfect for those of you that enjoy seeing all the sights and sounds on offer; musical experiences, artistic offerings, projections and lit up displays! 

    If you want to hang out by the earth and enjoy watching as people discover all that this magical area has to offer then this is the area for you!

    Info Point

    Our info point volunteers are there to help. Directing festivalgoers to see the incredible content that Bluedot has to offer, helping them find what they’re looking for onsite and just generally being an all-around superstar when someone comes with a question or issue!

    Accessible Camping

    We have a dedicated team of volunteers that help our Access crew to ensure that everyone visiting Bluedot has a fabulous time, regardless of any disabilities or difficulties they face. You may be helping out in the campsite or catching up with festival-goers to see how we can improve accessibility around the site.
