Reading Festival/Latitude Festival (Henham Park)/Camp Bestival (Lulworth Castle)

I have, for the last few years, been a staff member at the Reading and Latitude Festivals, and from 2019, Camp Bestival was added to the schedule. The role various by festival, but all are aimed at making sure customers can enjoy the festivals safely. At Reading I’m responsible for managing a team of around 150 supervisors and volunteers. Their role is to help people set up camp when they arrive on site, and whilst the festival is running walking around the campsite giving any help or assistance when required, as well as being a visible presence when the most people would be in the arena to help reduce crime. For Latitude, I work in Event Control. This involves being the main point of contact for Hotbox staff when they need assistance, and liaising with the other agencies based in the control centre. These include security/police, medical and fire services, as well as event management. Camp Bestival offered a different perspective as we were engaged to run the entrance gates, and provide assistance in the arena. I was supervising the team at one of the gates, which was primarily involved with exchanging customers’ tickets for wristbands, tracking the numbers through the gate, and dealing with any issues or complaints.For all of these, as a senior staff member, I’m involved in staff and volunteer accreditation. Anyone working at the festivals, whether paid, or as a volunteer, is required to have the right to work in the UK.
