Hello
Thank you so much for your interest in applying to trade at Wildwood Festival 2026.
We are looking for the most interesting, creative and unique independent traders, so please make your application stand out. Our aim is to ensure that everything we install onsite compliments the aesthetics of both the festival and its incredible woodland setting. Attention to detail and passion are very important to us and we want every pitch to stand out and offer something special. We are especially keen to support traders local to the festival site and in the surrounding area.
In 2026 we will house the majority of our non food traders in a gorgeous shared tent that will sit next to Vulva Voom, a very similar set up to 2025 for traders that joined us. Vulva will host workshops, music and other activities to draw people to the space - it's going to look incredible! In 2026 we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary so we're pulling out all of the stops to make it the best year of Wildwood EVER.
There will be very limited space alongside this for traders in their own set ups, and priority for these spots will be given to the most creative and visually attractive pitches - you will be able to specify what you would like to apply for but please note that this may not be guaranteed.
What some of our artists think of the festival:
Erol Alkan – “One of the highlights of my year, I’m honoured to have been part of it”
Gina Breeze – “Wild Wood Disco is a hidden gem that beautifully combines an eclectic mix of music with a lovely diverse crowd in the most magical of settings. So much love is poured into the organisation, programming, and production of this festival. Both times I have played here, it has been so much fun & one of my highlights of the year! Hope to come back soon for more adventures in the woods”
Heidi Lawden – “when I first arrived at Wildwood I knew we were in for something unique. The setting, the nooks and cranny’s to explore and goes without saying the fantastic various stages, impeccably programmed with enough sound and lights to loose yourself in. By the last night we’d found a tent you had to enter through an actual fridge freezer. I felt like Alice in a literal wonderland – I really hope to return soon”
The festival will run from Friday 19th June - Sunday 21st June at our beautiful woodland home just outside of Cambridge. The site address is The Woodland Glade, Horseheath Racecourse, Linton, Cambs, CB21 4QP and the onsite capacity is around 2000 people. Successful applicants will need to be onsite no later than Thursday 18th June and will be able to leave site on Monday 22nd June - all traders must remain onsite throughout the whole duration of the event (access/egress times and trading times will be confirmed closer to the time).
The deadline for us to receive applications will be Friday 30th January and offers will be sent out no later than W/C 2nd March 2026.
If you are unable to fill in any of the required questions at this stage please write 'TBA' in the box to allow you to continue through the form (or select a choice/date if it's multiple choice) - you will be able to save your form progress and return to it, but in order for your application to be considered you will need to fully complete each section. Make sure you are submitting documents in the required formats for each section - google can easily show you how to save things as pdfs or reduce file sizes.
Please note - this form is for non food traders only. If you would like to apply to get involved in any other aspect of festival please head to The Wildwood Festival website here and find the relevant links.
Restrictions will apply to certain offerings and services that we already have onsite (ie phone charging/cash back/selling alcohol/face painting) and you may be asked not to sell certain items if you are offered a pitch.
Pitch Fees will be confirmed with successful offers
Thanks so much for applying, we cant wait to hear from you!
The Wildwood Team
