As a volunteer Steward you are integral to our Festival operations and whilst some positions require you to be the eyes and ears of the Festival, you also act as our ambassadors, information points and venue managers. You are often the first point of contact with the public and you can make a difference to their Black Horse Festival experience. In return for you efforts you will receive a Full Weekend Pass with camping.
Stewarding is a great way to get involved and the reward is the Festival's future.

Don't be a weak link, do be a strong and valuable member of a great time.
