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.
Here’s a few pointers on how you can get involved.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Our lively, friendly Bar Team helps to run and maintain the festival bar.
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.
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!
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.
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. Plus, if you’re volunteering to get experience in your dream career, talk to us – we want to help however we can.
Applications for 2025 will open in spring. In the meantime, please sign up to our newsletter at the bottom for this page for updates. If you have any questions, you can also email us now. We hope to see you on the team!
