Malorie Perry’s Journey into Festival Stewarding

Malorie Perry, 23, shares how she discovered the world of festival stewarding with Oxfam. “I first stumbled across festival stewarding four years ago while browsing the Oxfam website for volunteering opportunities. As a student who loved gigs, volunteering at festivals seemed perfect,” she recalls.

Her first experience at Glastonbury, where Oxfam provided over 2,000 stewards, was transformative. Despite attending alone, Malorie quickly connected with fellow volunteers, forming friendships that have lasted through multiple festival seasons.

A Diverse Volunteering Community

Volunteers of all backgrounds and ages are welcome. From checking tickets at VIP gates to wristbanding at Download, each role offers unique experiences. Parents can even bring their children along to share in the fun.

“The thought of three eight-hour shifts in the rain wasn’t appealing at first,” Malorie admits. “But the camaraderie and support from Oxfam staff, who provide everything from tea to sun cream, made it enjoyable.”

Enjoy Excellent Facilities

The Oxfam campsite features excellent facilities, including showers and secure areas for personal belongings. Catering, such as the renowned Nuts catering at Glastonbury, is a highlight Malorie eagerly anticipates every year.

Make a Difference While Having Fun

Volunteering with Oxfam is about more than just enjoying free festival access. It’s about making friends, having fun, and supporting vital humanitarian efforts. Whether you’re alone or with friends, stewarding with Oxfam is highly recommended.
