Mountaingrass is organised entirely by our fantastic volunteers.
However, during the festival  we do need extra help.  
Volunteers at the festival receive a season ticket in exchange for 6 hours of their time.

At this stage,  some of our teams are full but we still need people willing to help with wristband checking, raffle ticket selling and packdown after the event.   

The link to the Volunteer application form is at the bottom of this page.
