About this session
The organisers of Derby Summer Sessions at Markeaton Park are looking for some support to ensure the festival runs smoothly.
Volunteers are needed to assist accessible guests at the entrance and directing them to the accessible platform area. You'll help with finding them a suitable seat/location in the accessible area, give people accessible wristbands on arrival and be helping with customer queries at the accessible area. Volunteers will be provided with a hi vis, please wear suitable clothing for the weather forecast as you'll be outside for the entire session.
A briefing will be from the festival organisers and not someone from GoodGym for this session.
Please report to the accreditation office on arrival via the staff entrance (Gate X) to collect your accreditation to wear. WHAT3WORDS: again.shots.lunch
Here is the travel advice from the organisers of the festival.
The timings have been amended for the Summer Sessions event on Sunday in response to England reaching the Euros 2024 final.
To celebrate their success, the festival will be showing the match on the BIGGEST screen in Derby and gates now open at 2pm with DECO, Lightning Seeds, Rick Astley and Madness performing before the game.
Volunteers will have the chance to stay and watch the match from 8pm if they want to - after singing along to the iconic Lightning Seeds anthem 'Three Lions'.
The Sunday night headliner is Madness. Full information about the festival can be found here.
Volunteers are also needed on Friday and Saturday, please check other listings for these.
