Red Bull UK is currently recruiting for Festival Activators to be based across the UK. This is a paid internship. The internship runs from the 19th May 2025 to 15th September 2025. You must be available for the whole duration of the programme.
The Festival Activator Programme is one of the most important parts of the Red Bull UK Festival & Events Strategy. You’re the face of the company across the festival circuit; a positive, knowledgeable, and proactive attitude is essential.
You’ll work a series of festivals from week commencing 19th May to week commencing 15th September over 15+ weekends totalling 50+ days.
You will be in charge of activating the festival marketing and sales plan across the site, constantly in search of additional opportunities and Point of Sale (POS) placements across the site.
There will be some inconsistent hours, long days and a lot of travelling – Festival Activators will have to be able to work hard and play hard! It is an incredibly physical job that will require a lot of heavy lifting, walking and sleeping onsite in tents.
We would prefer our Festival Activators to have a clean drivers license (but it’s not a must) in order to hire cars & vans throughout the summer.
We will supply you with a mobile phone and a Red Bull e-mail address in order for you to be in contact with various POCs onsite.
It is vital you are able to commit to working most weekends in the summer from Monday 19th May to Monday 15th September. Also to be available for an assessment day on Tuesday 15th April, should your application be successful.
It’s not for the faint hearted! Although you will be exhausted you will have the best summer ever.
