Do you see yourself setting up, packing down, pouring beers, guiding audiences, washing dishes, scanning tickets, making signs, or perfecting your barista skills? If you haven’t volunteered at Oerol before… read on. On this page you’ll discover everything you want to know about being a volunteer at Oerol.
Update: We are overwhelmed by the huge number of registrations for Oerol 2026! Thank you for your enthusiasm! For this reason, we have decided to close the form for now so we can start putting the first pieces of the puzzle together. If any places become available afterwards, the registration form will reopen for specific roles. We will keep you informed via the Oerol Volunteers Newsletter.
