Love The Farm Leave No Trace – Oxfield at Glastonbury Festival 2019 This year the priority window will open on 29th January allowing everyone who has worked two or more festivals for Oxfam in last year to book a place for the new season ahead of the public. Another stress-free option is getting priority booking. That’s how I got my place at Glastonbury last year. The circumstances change, and people drop out from festivals, and stewards positions will become available later, closer to the festival day. But if you haven’t managed to secure your place fear not. This year the date to remember is 4th February, when the system goes live and allows you to choose your festivals.

Glastonbury requires 2000 stewards and all places are gone within minutes of opening applications to the public. To apply as a steward you don’t need a specific set of skills, just a positive attitude and fast internet, as the positions for popular festivals tend to fill up fast. Because of that, the recruitment process is also slightly different. Every position has its perks, and a different set of skills are required. You can choose to be a steward, campaigner or work in a shop. Oxfam offers various roles so everyone can find something to fit them.
