Be a part

Our mouths are watering and our pockets are jingling! Every year we have more vendors apply than we are able to accommodate, so please make sure to tell us everything about what you can bring to Festival One to help us make the very best choices. APPLICATIONS FOR 2025 HAVE CLOSED.

Winners of the 2021 Access Alliance People's Choice Accessible Business Awards, the Soul Lounge has been breaking down barriers to make Festival One more accessible, year on year. For 2025, the team would love to hear from you if festival environments aren't within reach for you. We'd love to get to know you, have a chat, and see where we can help to make your attendance at Festival a reality. Contact us here: soullounge@festival.one.

We loved that the discovery sessions are a space where new and fresh talent can be shared at Festival. A space where people who have not yet performed at Festival One, can be "discovered". Applications for 2026 will open later in year, keep your eyes peeled for this and you could be the next Discovery Artist! 

We would love to have you add to the theme of God’s love with a monumental sculpture - monumental meaning “largish” - that we can add to the Festival One site for 2025. We’d love our guests to be able to interact, ponder, photograph, point out, laugh with your work. In simple terms, to engage. Your work could be a literal, figurative or metaphorical interpretation of the theme.  APPLICATIONS FOR 2025 HAVE CLOSED.
