Work & Volunteer

Applications to volunteer or work at Green Man 2026 will open soon.

We actively encourage applications from D/deaf and disabled people, and can make necessary adjustments to support your work and experience at the festival.

Little Folk and Somewhere Applications

Little Folk is the area for our youngest festival guests, aged 0-10. It is an immersive world where all activities, workshops and performances link to a central theme. You can apply at gmfe.st/LittleFolk.

Somewhere is the area for festival guests, aged 11-17. We are looking for a range of workshops, performances and activities. You can apply at gmfe.st/Somewhere.

Volunteering

Please note volunteering places for 2026 are now full. We have three types of volunteers: stewards, accessibility, and litter. You can still sign up to our reserve list at gmfe.st/reserveform.

Bar staff

As a member of the bar staff at Green Man you are at the very heart of the festival. Working in one of the nine bars on site, this is a brilliant opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a busy festival environment whilst making some new pals along the way.

To apply to be bar staff at Green Man you must be 18 or over and need a minimum of 6 months' bar experience.

You can apply at gmfe.st/bars.

Wishbone Applications

The Wishbone is a late-night cabaret party space hidden in a secret location. We are seeking a range of performers for Green Man 2026. Whether it’s a comedy dance act, a ridiculous participatory party or wild drag show, we want to hear from acts who can help us create the ultimate raucous soirée for our guests.

You can apply at gmfe.st/wishbone.

Science Stalls Applications

Applications are open, please apply at gmfe.st/ScienceStalls.

We’re on the lookout for organisations, research groups, and any other science/nature/technology-minded folk that would like to bring a stall to Einstein’s Garden with the aim of engaging festival audiences with their work. Your stall will explore any aspect of science or tech research, nature, curiosity or questions about the world around us, which you’ll bring to life in a unique way to amaze and engage our audience of thousands.
