___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If this is your first time volunteering with us, we ask volunteers to purchase a discounted crew ticket in advance to help confirm commitment and reduce last-minute dropouts, which can have a significant impact on small independent events like ours.

A £50 refundable deposit is included within this amount and will be returned 30 days after the event, provided agreed shifts have been completed to a reasonable standard, unless you choose in your application to donate this amount back to support Flow in the Forest CLG.

If you have crewed/volunteered with us before, you will be deposit exempt* meaning you will only be expected to contribute £50 toward the cost of your ticket and a crew fully catered ticket will be available for an extra £120.

In return for contributing your time, volunteers receive heavily discounted access to the event, including workshops, professional development opportunities, community spaces, live music, the shows, access to the fire practice environment and all the event has to offer.

Deposit options are:

Fully catered ticket
£220 deposit (£100 discounted from the standard ticket price)

Self-catered ticket
£100 deposit (£100 discounted from the standard ticket price).

This means volunteers who complete their shifts receive a total discount of £150 from the standard ticket price in recognition of their contribution to the event.
