IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION

ACCOMMODATION:

There is no camping on the festival site so we are unable to provide free accommodation for volunteers or workers.  Camping is available at Bellarine Bayside Holiday Parks - a short distance from the festival. 

Please book your accommodation in advance once your volunteer application has been confirmed -  we recommend booking in advance to secure your stay.

For accommodation options please follow the link HERE

ROSTERS:

Rosters will begin to be sent out from the 12th of May. Please be patient with this process as it may take a few days to get your roster sent to you. 

Please keep in mind that while we will do our best to accommodate your preferred shift times and team selections, we may not always be able to meet all requests due to the number of volunteers. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

*If you have any issues with the shift times and/or tasks allocated please email Nat at volunteers@nationalcelticfestival.com as soon as possible.
