I spent the weekend volunteering for charity behind the bar at Leeds festival. Free coach to Leeds from London, free festival ticket, our own camping area with showers, a toilet, and a bar which was open till 3am and only £1.50 a pint, two hot meals a day, and our own entrance to the main arena which meant that we could take as much booze in as we liked (unlike regular punters who are allowed to take in one 500ml bottle of sealed water). We had to do three 6 hour shifts over the festival, but even when we were working we had an amazing view over the main stage with perfect sound.. then at the end of the evening shifts we could take as much lager/cider/spirits/wine as we could carry..
It was a seriously good way to do an arena festival.
Then when we got back to London we spent the evening at the Notting Hill Carnival..
Sounds mint that! How does one get invoved?
