Although I would have thought they would want a fair amount of hours - but they do close early evening from memory i was think along the hat making lines .... but squeezing a 6 months of work into a few hours might be tough ... ill have a think for sure ... also explore the stewarding angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even stewarding whilst the festival friendly messages on hat, backpack are displayed and your knowledge, enthusiasm and experience of the farm. All ties in with the green ethos of the field.

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I sent a submission to them yesterday by air mail, on behalf of myself and two friends. We are proposing to do art sculpture workshops for free. The idea is for festival attendees to make art sculptures out of on site litter, found on the ground at the festival. It can be paper, plastic, metal, or whatever, as long as it's genuine litter left by others who are obviously ignorant bastards. On top of creating their own work, they can also add and item to larger proposed works, which are to take form as time goes by. I don't suppose it'll come to fruition, but odd things do happen.

You should join forces with your brother and see if you can knock Philip Treacy off his perch. However, being a fan of the man, I must admit that that'll take some doing. Thanks for the best wishes.

Jensescapade Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 @Yoghurt on a Stick Your idea sounds wonderful and something they may go for. I have my fingers crossed for you. Me and my husband sent off an application for stewarding yesterday. I wonder when we may hear anything back. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it! I'd like to second that. Get your skates on though crazyfool1 as the submission has to be by post only, and is to Southern Ireland. I believe it can take up to 5 days for delivery, but you could still do it - if it's meant to be. All the best if you do throw your hat in the ring. See what I did there? I'll get my coat!

Pipine Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I think it's a 4 hour shift every night sometime between 8pm and 8am.. I love the calm of the green fields at night so it seems like the perfect stewarding role to me 🙂 I've applied.
