🏢 About the local organisation
: Doune the Rabbit Hole is an intimate, independent music & arts festival located amidst the glorious ancient oak trees of the Cardross Estate, near Scotland’s only lake, Lake of Menteith, in Stirlingshire. We started life in 2010, at a site near the town of Doune (hence the name!) and for the last 6 years have been celebrating the very best of Scotland’s independent/DIY arts scene alongside amazing international guests.
We’ve been honoured to host an extraordinary array of music, art, theatre and spoken word over the years, and 2015 is set to provide more of the same! Along with the pick of Scotland’s musical talent there’ll be workshops for kids and adults, arts, craft producers, and delicious local food and drink suppliers.
DtRH is arguably the smallest festival of its kind in the country, but we’re not only small because we’re young; our size is a vital part of what makes for such a special weekend. With a capacity of only 1000 creating such an intimate, friendly, community atmosphere, you can’t help making friends throughout the weekend.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will work to set up and break down the festival site. This will involve both constructing the various stands, tents and physical infrastructure of the site, but also more decorative tasks to give the site an amazing look and feel. On the first day you'll be building your own showers and the Yurts where you will be sleeping.
Volunteers will work the week before and after the festival but will not work during the festival itself, they will be free to enjoy the entire programme. This means that your weekend off will be one amazing big 3 day party, but that after it when a lot of other people are going home volunteers are going to need to keep on working.
🏠 Accommodation on site
: Volunteers will stay on the site throughout the work camp. Tents will be provided by Xchange Scotland but we ask volunteers to bring sleeping bags, pillows and things that will make them comfortable in the tent. Volunteers will be given 3 meals a day, all vegetarian by the on site catering company, Volunteers are asked to bring snacks and other food if required.
⚠️ Requirements
The Extra Fee should be in pounds to the group leader on the first day of the project. Due to the lack of funding we receive for our international work we ask volunteers to make a small contribution towards our costs. You can transfer by Bank, but we ask volunteers to phone us first for more information and our bank details.
