Cleanfields Crew at Creamfields Festival
We are recruiting volunteers to join our Cleanfields Crew at this year’s Creamfields Festival – the UK’s leading dance music festival.
This is more than just a volunteering role – it’s a chance to be part of a like-minded team working to shift behaviours and help create a cleaner, greener festival environment. As part of the Cleanfields Crew, you'll be on the ground engaging with festival-goers, encouraging them to embrace the “Pitch, Party, Pack Up” culture, and challenging the myth that abandoned tents and gear are donated.
It’s a brilliant opportunity to:
• Attend Creamfields for free
• Be part of a sustainability initiative with real impact
• Get behind-the-scenes access to one of the UK’s biggest festivals
• Influence people directly and inspire cultural change
• Gain unique experience for your CV – while having fun!
Applications are open now at www.festivols.co.uk, and we’d be thrilled to have passionate students join the Cleanfields Crew.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions – and please forward this on if there is someone else in your network that it would be better suited to. This opportunity isn’t exclusively for students it is open to anyone passionate about the Creamfields and the sustainability campaign and will be above the age of 18yrs at the start of the festival.

Humbug Radio - Presenters (Unpaid)
Humbug Radio is a new Internet station aimed squarely at the 50+ demographic. We are quirky, irreverent, funny and, hopefully, wise. We play great music from the 60s-Noughties, but we're not just a music station, so regular DJs need not apply. Instead, we're looking for people with life experience, stories to tell, fluency and, above all, a cracking sense of humour. We have weekday and weekend slots available. Experience with voice tracking on Myriad would be helpful.
Our current roster is comprised largely of white males so we are very interested in people who don't fit this template, in particular mature presenters, male and female, with diverse and unusual backgrounds.
Festival Placement - 110 Above
110 Above (28th – 30th August 2025) is an intimate 1,000-cap festival showcasing up-and-coming grassroots talent in the Leicestershire countryside.
This year Leeds Conservatoire is working with 110 Above to provide eight voluntary work opportunities for current third year students and Class of 2024 graduates.
Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work alongside highly trained events staff and be provided with an opportunity to learn on the job.
- Hours: Each applicant will be required to be available for work between 10am and 10pm on each day of the festival. Within those hours teams work flexibly with breaks.
- Availability: Applicants must be available for the full duration of the festival, with one day either side (Wednesday 27th August – Sunday 31st August 2025).
- Accommodation: There will be a separate camping area for staff/ volunteers, including 24 hour access to a permanent shower block and the crew have 24 hr access. Crew will need to bring their own tents.
- Food: During the festival volunteers will have access to backstage catering which will provide 1 main meal and breakfast, plus a staff room which will remain stocked with snacks, drinks, pizzas and sandwich making materials.
- Application deadline: Tuesday 6th May 10am. Applications will be reviewed within 2 weeks.
These opportunities are unpaid; however food and staff camping is covered, along with full access to the festival across the weekend. Leeds Conservatoire Employability & Enterprise will cover costs of transport to and from the site.
In order to make our involvement with the festival as successful as possible, you must be willing to work with Leeds Conservatoire around any promotional activities associated with the festival. A hard-working and positive attitude is essential. Whilst you’ll be able to enjoy the festival when you are not working, you’ll be expected to work throughout the hours of your shifts and be ready to start in advance.
