Chapter 5, Radical Redesign
Boomtown 12-16 August 2026
Matterley Estate, Winchester 

Thank you for your interest in trading at Boomtown 2026. 

One of the most important things we look for in our traders is individuality and something that stands out!
We collaborate with businesses with character that offer unique and fantastic quality drinks.

The Boomtown ethos has a huge focus on sustainability so please bear this in mind when you submit your application.

Trading days are from Wednesday to Sunday, all traders must arrive and be fully set-up by Tuesday so pitches can be signed off by our H&S team. Please note Boomtown is a Cashless festival, more info will be provided to successful applicants. By being a Cashless event we are able to lower the up front costs for traders and work on a revenue-share basis to make the festival more accessible for a wider variety of businesses. 

All bars must adhere to strict, site specific licensing. ALL bar staff must attend compulsory onsite training pre show.
Bar providers will not be able to trade before being signed off by an onsite licensing team.
