About: The vision is for a relaxed space where delegates can grab a drink, pull up a deck chair and be encouraged by word and worship from both outside and within the New Wine community! The Bandstand will provide a space for charity partners to share more about the work of their organisations. It will also be a place for the New Wine family to share whether this be through an acoustic set, some pre-celebration worship or through testimony.
We are looking for some friendly volunteers with some PA experience to join the Bandstand Team at New Wine Festival. You will be part of a small team to daily welcome musicians, artists and partners to the Bandstand and help them get setup. There will also be a simple sound system to operate.

About: The Media Team is a brilliant opportunity to go behind the scenes and be part of how we capture and document what God is doing at the festival. It’s about more than just photography or video, it’s about catching the atmosphere, experiencing the festival vibe and being on hand to see and hear God moving in amazing ways.
For younger team members, it’s a fantastic way to explore and learn about media – from photography and videography to presenting and seeing how content is edited and shared. It’s hands-on, creative and lots of fun!
If you have an interest in media or social media, enjoy thinking about how content might look and are up for bringing ideas then we’d love for you to apply.
Equipment:
We ask team members to bring any media gear they already have, such as a camera or laptop with editing software but this isn't a necessary requirement or have to be professional kit. We’ll try to work with what you have and there will be opportunities to use some of our equipment too!
