Take Part

Catering at Galtres Festival is about much more than feeding the masses - the food and drink is part of the festival's celebration of all things wonderful, and so we are looking to appoint exceptional caterers who supply the very best food and drink.

All supplies must be sourced locally, if possible,  and we will give you a directory of quality local suppliers. Where supplies originate from further afield, such as tea, coffee, fruit juice or sugar they must be Fair Trade. For more about our food and drink policies read this page - we'd suggest you only apply for a catering slot if you meet our policy in every respect.

We do not charge caterers for their pitch. We do ask for a £50 one-off registration fee, and we also ask that you pay for your electricity. Beyond that we request 20% of your sales turnover - this goes towards our overheads and all profits from this are donated to the charities we support.

We also require all caterers to use our voucher system - you may not accept cash. These and related details are explained more fully in the downloadable information pack.  We're also currently working on an online applications system, which should be ready for the 2013 festival.

The deadline for applications for the 2012 festival was 31 March, so it's now closed. The only exception might be an additional vegetarian / vegan caterer.

To register your interest in catering in future years, please subscribe to our catering mailing list. We'll email you each year as soon as the latest information pack and booking forms are ready.
