Performer Applications

If you have an act you want to appear at the festival this year all applications are handled by our organising team.

Tell us what you do... Music? Dance? Movement? Poetry? Spoken Word? Re-enactment? Talks? Theatrical Drama? Something else?

We have both seasoned acts and also newbies who join us so don't think this isn't for you too! Whilst we have professional stage programming we also run an Open Platform Stage which is a people-led programme. This means that if you have something amazing to share and want to take a slot in the spotlight, we welcome you to submit your request.

Since 2018 the festival has provided a spotlight for over 100 performance acts on the main stage.

If you're a local established act who would just love to support one of our festivals, or if you are simply wanting a spot on stage then why not make an application.
