FESTIVAL SEASON HAS well and truly kicked off.

If Forbidden Fruit last weekend whetted your appetite for more, you’re in luck as there are loads of festivals taking place this Summer.

The only issue is the cost. Let’s be real, festival-going is a pricey business.

However, if you are willing to do some work you can go to Electric Picnic for free!

The organisers are currently looking for volunteers who are willing to work four six hour shifts, or three eight hour shifts over the course of the weekend, in exchange for free entry.

You do actually have to work though, as you are required to pay a refundable bond (to the value of the ticket) ahead of time.

Details are here.
