WILDHOOD is inviting expressions of interest from artists, performers, creatives, designers and activity providers to be part of WILDHOOD Festival 2026, taking place 7–8 June 2026 at Tullibole Castle in Crook of Devon, Perth & Kinross.

WILDHOOD is an award-winning, family-focused cultural festival set in woodland and parkland, bringing together outdoor adventure, live music, theatre, storytelling, creative workshops and nature-based experiences. The festival welcomes thousands of families each year from across Scotland and beyond.

They are keen to hear from individuals, collectives and small organisations working across a wide range of disciplines, including (but not limited to):

– Live music and performance
– Theatre, storytelling and participatory arts
– Visual arts, design and making
– Outdoor, nature-based and adventure activities
– Creative workshops for children and families
– Interactive, playful or immersive experiences

They are particularly interested in work that:

– Engages children and families in creative, hands-on ways
– Responds to outdoor or non-traditional settings
– Encourages participation, curiosity and play
– Aligns with WILDHOOD’s inclusive, welcoming ethos

They welcome applications from both established practitioners and those earlier in their careers. WILDHOOD is committed to fair work practices.

How to apply: please fill in this application form https://forms.gle/1iHTUhSFT6zD8XWP7

Expressions of interest will be reviewed on a rolling basis. If you’re hoping to be involved in WILDHOOD 2026, our programme is usually finalised in April, so earlier applications are more likely to be considered for this year’s festival. Proposals may also be held for future festivals.

WILDHOOD is committed to inclusive practice and encourages applications from people of all backgrounds.
