Jobs at All Points East 2026 - bank holiday weekend
All Points East 2026 runs over the August bank holiday weekend at Victoria Park in east London. The festival draws crowds of around 40,000 per day across the bank holiday Saturday, Sunday and Monday. For crew, the window of work is longer than the public-facing weekend: build crew are on site for several weeks before gates open, putting up stages, bars, fencing, power and toilets across the park.
By the time the August bank holiday arrives, the build is complete and on-event crew take over. Bar staff, stewards, gate crew, catering crew and site crew work across the bank holiday weekend itself - typically arriving early on the Saturday, with shifts running from around 8am through to late evening each day. Pay for on-event roles is agreed direct with the contractor: bar staff and stewarding roles run around £100-£140 per day, build crew earn £120-£200 and above depending on the call.
Post-event, strike crew are needed from the Monday evening and into the week after the bank holiday closes. Strike work pays broadly in line with build rates and is often easier to pick up at short notice - add your name to CrewPool free and contractors reaching out for strike crew will find you on the list.
Bar contractors and production companies recruiting for the bank holiday weekend typically do their hiring in the 2-4 weeks before gates open. If you want All Points East bank holiday work, the time to be on the list is now - not the week before. CrewPool is free to join and takes two minutes.
