The Buddhafield Cafe runs at various festivals in the South West, serving organic vegan food on proper plates, and drinks in proper mugs.
The Buddhafield cafe opens at the Buddhafield festival, serving festival goers from 9am-11pm each day. We serve organic vegan food, on proper plates, and tea in proper mugs. The cafe serves a varied menu, on a rolling basis, with food always available.
You'll be part of a team that chops veg, feeds the fire that heats our hot water, washes up and serves on the counter. We are also looking for cooks and shift managers - please let us know when you apply if you want to fill one of these roles!
You'll work a 6 hour shift each day of the event which includes a pre and post shift meeting. Shifts are either the morning shift each day, or alternating afternoon and evening, meaning you'll get at least one 24 hour period in the festival off.
As well as kitchen tasks, you’ll be able to take advantage of all the festival has to offer, from yoga to dance to singing, to sitting round the fire, to listening to dharma talks and taking part in ritual. We recommend the opening and closing ceremonies, and the big ritual on Saturday night - there’s usually lots of fire! By volunteering with Buddhafield you’re becoming part of the community, and you’re also helping create the warm generous space that Buddhafield is known for.
We ask that you come and be with us 16th - 22nd July (shifts are 17th - 21st) , in your vehicle or tent, or under your tarp, and bring your energy, generosity, skills, physical labour and your brightness. In return we offer
- your ticket to the festival
- 3 meals a day, plus hot drinks, from the cafe, 16th-22nd July (with the option to work in exchange for food if you want to stay on longer to help with tat down)
- meditation teaching and dharma input
- an experience of working in a living in close knit community on the land
