We plan to open our 2010 online applications to priority applicants in March 2010.
You are eligible for priority application status if you have successfully stewarded with us in the last three years. So if you stewarded with us in 2009, 2008 or 2007, we will send you a priority application email in the New Year containing your personal application information and instructions on what to do next.

We plan to open online applications to the general public in late March 2010.
If you’re new to stewarding or you stewarded with us before 2007, please keep an eye on our website for updates early in the New Year and apply when general recruitment opens.

If you're not a British National but would like to volunteer:
If you are not a British National certain visa restrictions apply. Please contact us on stewards@oxfam.org.uk, before you fill in your application, to check whether you can volunteer with us at a festival
