Volunteer Festival Steward & Event Support

Uckfield Town Council is the third tier of local government in our town. We serve Uckfield by maintaining green spaces, sports facilities, playgrounds and several buildings around the town, as well as supporting community activities through grants, activities we host ourselves and support from our Councillors.

We require volunteers to assist with stewarding Weald on the Field 2026. The free family festival takes place on Luxford Field on Saturday 8th August 2026, from 11am to 7pm. With over 1,000 visitors expected at the event, we need help with doing checks of the field, emptying bins, managing our car park, liaising with stallholders, and communicating any messages from attendees to the lead organisers. Shifts can range from two hours to the full eight hours of the festival.
