Each year, a team joins us for 1 to 3 weeks each April to help us prepare the site. Each day begins with a time of prayer before splitting into work parties. Tasks include putting up tents; setting up equipment; cleaning; gardening; distributing bedding; sorting uniform and much more. There is plenty to get involved in and a great community feel as we all pull together to get the site ready for our guests!
You need to be at least 18 years old and we’re always looking for people with technical skills such as bike maintenance, setting up audio-visual equipment, sewing, gardening and general maintenance. Some roles are more strenuous and require a good level of physical fitness (reasonable adjustments will be made where practicable). We really are looking for people with a broad range of practical skills and experience.
In September we do it all again, in reverse!
Dates for 2026 are as follows:
April 8th – 27th
September 7th – 28th
Whilst Montage officially starts on April 8th, you can arrive any time over the weekend (with prior agreement from Louise Bentley). It’s helpful if people are ready to start work on the Monday.
These roles are full time (35 hours per week) and we provide accommodation and meals, plus assistance with travel.
More information on all our roles can be found in our Volunteer Brochure and in the Role Specification (see below).
