Pluk de Nacht wouldn’t exist without amazing volunteers like you! We’re seeking enthusiastic people to help create the Netherlands’ most magical outdoor film festival. Under the stars at unique locations, we craft unforgettable cinematic experiences together.

Festival 7– 16 August

What can you do?
There are numerous ways to do volunteer work at Pluk de Nacht. You could spend an evening behind the bar, help with the setup and breakdown, or perhaps a coordinating role suits you better. As a volunteer at Pluk de Nacht, you will be given a lot of responsibility and there is room for your own input.
In exchange for your commitment as a volunteer at Pluk, you receive our eternal gratitude, a t-shirt, free tickets, food and drinks. We end with closing drinks, and you receive a volunteer allowance. Take a look to see if there’s a role that suits you, we would love to hear from you.
Allround volunteers wanted
As an all-rounder, you’re the heartbeat of the festival. You ensure everything runs smoothly, help visitors with their deck chairs (trickier than it looks!), create ambiance by lighting candles, maintain the venue, and serve as a friendly face for guests. You’re our go-to person who jumps in wherever needed. It’s a sociable and absolutely essential role!
