“Volunteering as a Steward for hcmf// was an incredible experience from start to finish. I was able to learn so much about working as part of a festival and could fully immerse myself throughout the ten days. I had a brilliant time, saw a range of fantastic concerts which enabled me to learn more about what music I enjoyed, and I met loads of new people!”
