APPLICATIONS ARE NOW BEING TAKEN FOR THE 2020 FESTIVAL

Are you a musician or part of a dance act? Do you perform spoken word such as poetry or storytelling, or maybe you have another performance idea?

The Plumstead Make Merry is looking for talented performers to take the stage at the festival. If you think that you could entertain a crowd come rain or shine, we want to hear from you.

There are two main performance areas at the festival, The Bandstand (the main stage) and the Acoustic Café (for acoustic and spoken word acts) and depending on the nature of the performance and the number of acts, slots are between 10-20 minutes long. All acts need to be family friendly, with no political or religious oratory, and although we would prefer local acts, proposals from further afield will be considered.

We are also looking for Workshop providers to run one-hour sessions in our Workshop Tent, please contact us if you are interested in doing this.

The Decision Process

Once your proposal has been received in full, you will be added to a list for consideration by team members.  You will be notified by email of any decision that has been made.

Applications for ROUND ONE will close on Friday 20th March 2020.

If there is still space available in the schedules, ROUND TWO will run to Friday 24th April 2020.

If there is still space available in the schedules after Rounds One & Two, applications will be considered within two weeks of their full proposal being received.

We do operate a reserve list in the event that any performers drop out, or if you do not meet the ‘two year rule’ procedure. If you wish to be added to the reserve list please state that at time of application.

Please note that we are unable to pay performers.
