Work Experience

At Ham Farm Festival
Ham Farm Festival employs local teenagers for work-experience, paid at £5.50 per hour. There are three different jobs on offer:

1) STEWARDING - 16-17
This is a front-of house job, and includes welcoming the public, checking pre-paid tickets, selling tickets, answering questions, helping with parking and people-flow, selling CDs and merchandise for the artists, and generally being a positive representative for the Festival.
Successful candidates will need to be organised, reliable, trustworthy, positive, flexible, helpful and friendly. An interest in music is a bonus.

To apply you need to be 16 on 27th July 2023, and you need to be entirely free from 28-30 July. 

​2) FLYERING - 14+
This is a flexible job that can be done in evenings and weekends, at times that suit you, between 20 June and 15 July. It involves going from door to door, putting flyers through. You can choose how many hours you want to do, and work it around your schedule.  You need to be very organised, noting which streets have been done and reporting back to us regularly. 

To apply you have to be at least 14.

3) STAGE HANDS - 16+
We need some energetic helpers for a few hours on each of 14 July, 27 and 28 July and 31 July to help carry and put together the stage, chairs and gazebo. You do not need to be free for all dates- just let us know which ones you are free for in the application form.

    Application Form

    To apply for paid work experience at Ham Farm Festival 2023, please read carefully the job descriptions above, and then fill in the following form. We recommend typing in word or similar first, then pasting your answers in when they are ready.

    Deadline for submission is 12 noon on Friday 16th June - applications after this time will not be considered.
    Aside from the work experience and the money, we want to see that you have researched our Festival and understand what it's about. Make sure you include here if you love music or play an instrument.
    Please tell us about any positions of responsibility you have held in the past, at home or at school, and also about your character. Make sure you have read what we are looking for for each job, and that you can demonstrate these attributes.
    Stewards must be free for all of 28-30 July. Flyering is flexible so just say yes! Stage hands, let us know if there are any dates you can't do from the ones we need.
