Volunteer

Our amazing volunteers make the festival what it is. It just wouldn’t be the same without their time, energy, enthusiasm and support. Volunteers are crucial in making sure that Primadonna festival-goers get the most out of their weekend.

We aim for your volunteering experience mutually beneficial for Primadonna and volunteers alike: we hope you’ll find your experience enjoyable, meaningful and worthwhile – from making new friends to supporting a great cause, from learning something new to making someone’s day brighter. We offer high quality volunteering opportunities with training, for the run-up to and during the event. We particularly welcome applications from volunteers with seen and unseen disabilities.

When joining us as a volunteer at Primadonna you’ll be provided with entry to the festival, lots of free time, you’ll get fed, have space to camp (with nice toilets and showers!) and most importantly be part of an unforgettable experience.

Applications for 2024 are now open. If you’d like to volunteer at this year’s festival, please fill out this online form and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can. 

If you have any questions, you can also email us now. We hope to see you on the team!

Ways you can get involved

Advertising Angels: If you’re based in Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk or Cambridgeshire, help us spread the word in the lead-up to the festival by getting flyers and posters out in all the cafes, bookshops, libraries and noticeboards in the East! If digital is more your thing, please engage across all our social channels by resharing and posting.

Setup Crew: If you have been to Primadonna before, join the organising team as we set up and decorate our beautiful venue. From sweeping leaves to hanging up bunting, be one of the first on site to get it ship-shape ready for the arrival of Primadonna 2024!

Welcome Team: Join our welcome team at Primadonna and play a key role in the Festival, giving our audiences the best possible experience by providing a friendly welcome, assistance and guidance, selling programmes and giving directions.

Camping Crew: Welcome our campers to the beautiful campsite and be a real part of the festival buzz as you help visitors set up camp safely and comfortably, and find their way around for everything they need.

Welfare Angels: If you’re passionate about taking care of others, our Welfare Team is for you. Supporting our performers in the Green Room and chaperoning them to the stages, you’ll be on hand to make sure their experience is memorable and comfortable.

Bar Team: Our lively, friendly Bar Team helps to run and maintain the festival bar.

Stage Hands: Our stage hands are there to help our artists by greeting them by the stage as they arrive, ensuring they have access to water and any other needs they may have, and keeping the performance boards up to date.

Event Stewards: As another key member of the Primadonna Team, our amazing multitasking Event Stewards keep an eye on the festival grounds: from looking out for lost children, supporting first aid or lost property, ensuring the site it litter-free, giving directions and generally being a team player, this role is very varied!

Volunteer Coordinators: If you have volunteered with us before, support and coordinate your fellow volunteers in one of the site’s sections, to ensure things go smoothly and contributing to a safe, efficient and happy experience for all.
