- how can you attend one of the biggest music festivals in the UK for free? volunteer at it!
my uni housemate and I went to Reading Festival by volunteering with Hotbox Events as Fire Tower Teams, working 3 x 8 hour shifts across a week on site. we had access to staff facilities such as showers, toilets and electricity, and managed to see everyone we wanted to see at the festival.

Hi Katherine enjoyed your vlog im hoping to do reading fest next year wirh hotbox and do towers looks good x
it's a great way to go to the festival and a very unique experience! I hope you enjoy!
@@katherinesclubhouse hi definitely will do thank u have a great Xmas and new yr
This is perfect thank you! What did you do on the tower just watching for something to happen and then report it? Did you meet lots of people I’d probably go alone! Thank you!
glad you enjoyed! on towers you're always in a pair, one person at the top and one in front, so if you go alone you'll either get put with someone or because it's super easy to make friends on the campsite you can choose someone to buddy up with! the person at the top of the tower just keeps a look out and the person at the bottom will end up getting asked loads of questions but you swap lots and I really enjoyed both positions! you'll have radios so you can ask the leaders any questions, find out when you're going on break/ask to go to the loo and report anything you need to. there'll also be water backpacks and fire extinguishers at the bottom of each tower if you do need to put out any fires, but this all gets covered in the briefing and I didn't hear of anyone having any stressful experiences from our camp. so many people went solo and we all ended up hanging out so I'd say definitely go for it! sorry for the long reply but hope that helps!
@@katherinesclubhouse that helps a lot thank you! Did you two just get to stay together and be in a pair or did you have to apply together?
we linked up when we applied as that means you get given the same shift pattern, and by applying early you have a better chance of getting your number one choice! but when positions are distributed during shifts you can stick with your preferred partners by making sure you go to the same zone together; they'll try and make sure you're with the people you want to be with!
Okay awesome i'm gonna apply woo! thank you@@katherinesclubhouse
I got reading! I’m so excited, going alone and can’t wait to meet new people!
Just got accepted for this year so we applied quite late. Im praying we manage to see lana on saturday. Do u reckon if we pick our shift patterns so that all the ones that would clash are lowest down we will manage to get it even tho weve only applied in june
I reckon you'll be fine managing to see Lana - as well as there being lots of options for shift patterns that will have Saturday headliners free, there'll also be plenty of people with different taste so it all balances out pretty well! have an amazing time 😊
the clip of me climbing is mortifying
that's the shortened version 😭😭 I cut out some of the climb lolll
