•         Comfortable with customers, including the odd difficult one

•         Confident asking for ID and refusing service when you need to (we'll train you on the rest)

•         Available evenings, weekends and during summer event peaks (especially June through August)

•         Bar or hospitality experience is great, but not essential. We'll train the right people

What it's actually like

Outdoor events hospitality isn't a desk job. You'll be on your feet, often in the rain, sometimes until late. Set-up days are heavy. Service days are intense. Break-down at midnight in a wet field is its own particular pleasure.

But the events are spectacular. The teams are tight. And when you've poured 600 pints in three hours at a concert and the headliner walks on stage, you'll know exactly why we do it.

If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.

How to apply

Send us a short message telling us about yourself, any relevant experience (or none, that's fine too), and which events most appeal to you.
