2026 Festival Entries

Entries for the 2026 Festival will be open from Monday1st December 2025

Entries will close on Monday 2nd February 2026
 

In order to make festival entry more manageable for organisers, teachers and parents, many festivals across the country have introduced an online entry and payment system. Over the past five years Run My Festival has been developed specifically for festivals and for this reason we have decided to use it to provide a secure online entry and payment system for our festival community. Online payment can be made using bank transfer BACS or by cheque.
 

Once you have registered with Run My Festival you will be able to enter other festivals that also use the online system with the same log in’s and passwords.

Everyone entering the festival this year must use Run My Festival to make their entries. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions regarding this or if you have problems using it.

To enter please use this link to Run My Festival where you can register and fill out an online application.
