OUR VOLUNTEERS
The Beer Festival is staffed by unpaid volunteers and just over 300 people help us at some time or other. However, that simply isn't enough. We need more volunteer staff - remember that up to 10,000 people come through the gate on the Friday evening.
But don't think that you have to work behind a bar - there are plenty of other jobs to be done. We start with a green field site each year which means that we have to organise marquees, fencing, stillaging, bars, offices, toilets, shop, information area, electrics, stage, tables and chairs, banners, signs and posters... The list is endless - If you think you can help in any way, then please volunteer - You don't have to give up the whole week (unless you want to) or even a whole evening - Just tell us when you think you could help and what you think you could do.
Our helpers get some free beer, food while on duty, free tea, coffee and soft drinks at all times, buses home at night North and South of Peterborough, a Beer Festival glass, discounts on festival clothing, some discounts with food vendors, camping facilities, good fun and a chance to meet new friends with an interest in real ale.
If you think that you can help then please complete our staffing form. If you prefer you can download a staffing form here.
There is more staff information here and here is our Health & Safety Policy.
If you are still not tempted then take a look at the menu for the staff restaurant. Don't forget that food is free as is beer on the staff bar where you can expect to find beers that are not available to the general public.

You will be supplied with a Staff Handbook before you start work. Here it is if you wish to see it now.
You will also be supplied with a copy of the national CAMRA Volunteers Handbook. But you can get a copy here.
