VOLUNTEER AT PARADHIS

Do you want to be part of the magic that makes Paradhis Festival happen? We are looking for enthusiastic, friendly, and dedicated souls to join our volunteer crew for 2026.

Volunteering is a unique way to experience the festival from the inside out. You’ll be the heartbeat of the event, helping to create the warm, welcoming atmosphere that Paradhis is famous for. In return for your time and energy, you’ll get free access to the festival, meet incredible people, and become part of our festival family.

⚠️ Important Update: Spots are strictly limited this year. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend applying as soon as possible to secure your place.

The Deal

We believe in fair exchange. Here is how it works:

• Your Contribution: You complete 2 x 6-8 hour shifts over the festival weekend.
• Your Reward: When you’re not on shift, the festival is yours to enjoy! Soak up the music, join a yoga class, or relax in the stunning Boconnoc Estate.
• Returnable Deposit: There is a £50 deposit payable  to process your application and secure your spot. This is returnable once you’ve completed all your shifts. This deposit covers you for all festivals you can see when you login to PAAM. Note: Only applicants who have completed the form and paid the deposit will be considered

📅 Application Deadline: February 28th, 2026
