Perform at Big Love

Circus, cabaret, dance, kids entertainers, walkabout acts

Calling all cabaret acts, circus performers, theatre groups, comedians and performance artists! We are still accepting applications to perform at Big Love in July.

All of our music slots have now been filled, but we still have plenty of other opportunities to perform at the festival! We’re looking for high quality, creative acts to show off their talent at our lovely small festival.

We’ve got a circus big top for family-friendly shows, a kids field, late night adult cabaret and of course the option of daytime or nighttime walkabouts too. We’ve even got ancient woods and an Iron Age hill fort you can make use of! Send us details of your act, and be part of the UK’s friendliest small festival!

Non-music performers apply here.

Workshops

Do you have a skill or activity you would like to share with people at Big Love?

We’re now welcoming applications for inspiring workshops and activities at the festival in July. Whether it’s creative, practical, educational, spiritual or just plain silly, let us know if you have something to offer!

Workshops can be for children, families or adults, and we have a range of lovely spaces you can utilise – from a circus big top, to ancient woodland and even an Iron Age hill fort!

Apply here to run a workshop at the festival in July.

Music performers, singers, DJs and bands

Applications for singers, musicians, bands and DJs wishing to perform at Big Love 2025 have now closed.

Applications to perform at Big Love 2026 or at one of our showcase events can be submitted at the end of the summer.

If you think your act would be a good fit for Big Love, we’d love to hear from you in October. We’re particularly keen to hear from female artists, and artists from traditionally under-represented groups.

Due to the large number of applications we receive we aren’t always able to respond to unsuccessful applications, but we really do check out all submissions.

Successful applicants for 2025 will be contacted by the end of January 2025.
