Take Part

Applications for stage slots at Galtres 2012 are now closed. Sorry, you're too late.

We are still looking for a funky brass band to march around the arena - maybe also to march around campsites to wake everyone up and get them in the mood for any other fabulous day of festival fun - if you want to apply let us know (sorry but other types of applications will not be considered). Oh yes, we will have a few open mic slots on the acoustic Firkin Stage, and on the ArtsBarge stage, and some 'busking' slots also, so bring your spoons or banjo, and do join in.

Applications for the 2013 festival will open in January 2013. We've identified our criteria for the type of bands and musicians we're looking for, so we suggest you take a good look at this page, and only apply if you fit the bill. Most of the acts we book come from within Yorkshire and play original music, not covers, although we do make the odd exception for exceptional artistes. High quality is very important to us - last year we received more than 1600 applications for 100 stage slots, so only the very best will make it.

Similarly, we will be looking for a range of first class actors, entertainers, workshop facilitators and storytellers for our family festival of fun. Check out our criteria here before applying.

To register your interest in performing at Galtres Festival 2013, please subscribe to our performer mailing list. We'll be in touch as soon as online applications are open.
