Get Involved 
To help make the Watchet LIVE Music Festival continue to evolve, we need the support of volunteer stewards. Experience West Somerset's largest outdoor music festival event, by giving your time and energy in helping to make this popular growing event happen.
There are many benefits including free entry to Watchet LIVE run events, meeting new friends, learning new skills, and being part of the Watchet LIVE growing team of volunteers.
Over the Weekend stewards are required for numerous tasks including: festival information staff, infrastructure team (helping build and dismantle the layout of the festival), car park marshals, day/evening site stewarding, bar staff, rubbish collecting and staffing the entrance desk. Training will be given for all stewards and you would work in teams lead by a festival official. There will also be a need for stewards to work at various on site locations including the music stages, workshop venues and liaising with the on site security. We are asking for volunteers to give a small amount of time per day (minimum hours 8hrs over the festival) and in return you will be involved in the smooth running of West Somerset's largest live music event.
As the festival continues to grow volunteer support is invaluable - if you are interested in helping at Watchet LIVE please download the volunteer steward application form and return to us at :-
