GET INVOLVED
RECYCLING CREW
Volunteer contribution is invaluable and helps Vulan to meet its sustainability targets, whilst creating a better environment for people to have fun in. Volunteers return year after year to work with the recycling crew at Vulan, so we know it has been a good experience and we aim to keep it that way!
The Work
It is physical and includes litter picking, bin servicing and materials sorting. Applicants are advised that those suffering with back problems are unlikely to be suited to the work.

CARNIVAL CREATIVES & WORKSHOP HOLDERS
We’re looking for giant mobile art pieces, unusual mobile sound systems, procession bands & costume artists!
Are you a creative crafter? Excellent! We’re also after Carnival Workshop leaders too. We’re in need of folks who can facilitate some incredible, environmentally conscious crafting sessions to help people look their best for Saturday’s Carnival. This year the theme is…
COOKING DEMOS & FOOD WORKSHOPS
Welcome, thoughtful foodies, to HARAYA, the new home for all things sustenance and sustainability. We’re after engaging cooking demonstrations and hands-on workshops from friendly, foodie experts. Help our audience hone their talents as kitchen-witches in our cosy Cottagecore Kitchen, where together, we can learn how to make earthly pleasures & medicines of edible variety.
PERMACULTURE WORKSHOPS & TALKS
Vulan's permaculture area has had something of a revamp. Welcome to Haraya.
We’re looking for speakers, workshop leaders, green fingered gurus and facilitators, with expertise in all things sustainable and self sufficient, to nourish, encourage and inspire our relationships with nature and germinate the seeds of resilience.
CRAFT AREA
We’re after skilled crafters to impart traditional and exciting craft workshops to the tribe, where folks can take home a diverse range of hand-crafted keepsakes. Due to high demand for spots we tend to only book traditional crafts sourced from natural products.
You are responsible for providing your own workshop space, this should be sturdy enough to withstand diverse weather conditions. All frontages should be attractive, self promoting with workshop times clearly displayed and be able to be secured when workshops are not running.
INSTALLATIONS
We are also always on the lookout for interesting sculptures/installations for the area. Applicants will need to be responsible for installation, ongoing assessment throughout and removal at the end.
DANCE WORKSHOP & PERFORMANCE
We’re looking for those with the most twinkliest of toes to show Vulantribe of all ages, shapes and sizes how to bust a move. We are looking for well-planned classes across a range of styles (and fusions in between) that can be adapted and inclusive for whoever turns up and whatever the weather. We’re also up for hearing from dance troops and performers who want to strut their stuff!
MUSIC & VOICE WORKSHOPS
Our Melody and Harmony space are nestled in Healing Meadows. They are home to an array of wonderful workshops focusing on voice and learning all kinds of instruments. We welcome workshops of all ilks, from beginner to more advanced sessions, audiences with artists, and talks. We are keen to encourage both popular and unusual group sessions.
POETRY & SPOKEN WORD
Home to all things poetic and spoken wondrous at Vulan, Poetry Stage showcases all kinds of wordy goodness, alongside a sweet selection of live music. If you fancy yourself a bard, click through to the application process for full details, with examples of your work ready to hand.
We would like to note that we welcome and encourage submissions from artists who are women, trans*, LGBTQ, BAME, or consider themselves to have a disability. We want to curate a program which is as diverse and richly representative of the whole scene as possible!
RANDOM WORKSHOPS
Our beloved Random Workshops cover just about anything you could imagine – the weirder the better. If you’ve got a special skill you’d like to impart onto our eager crowd, be it obscure, naughty or just ever-so-nice, we’d love to hear all about it.
SPEAKERS & BIG IDEAS
We’re looking for engaging, inspiring speakers to come and feed our hungry minds at Vulan. Whether you’re an author, philosopher, scientist or documentarian, or simply someone with a brilliantly inspiring story to tell, we want to hear from you!
ART INSTALLATIONS / SITE DECOR / SMALL VENUE IDEAS
We love creativity in all shapes and sizes – Vulan is but a green and grassy canvas, just waiting for you to splash your wildest, most creative ideas all over it.
If you think you have an idea that would wow the tribe then we are all ears. Please be realistic in terms of the cost and safety of your project. Decisions are made based upon your level of expertise, vision and ability to work within deadlines and small budgets. As always space onsite is tight and our capacity to welcome new venues is very limited.
BANDS
Our bookers will make their decisions in the coming months and get back to all of you.
At Vulan you will find a stunning array of diverse acts from around the globe from Nigerian afrobeat to foot-stomping blues; classic roots reggae to Latin infused hip hop, explorations in folk, aswell as the odd forray into metal and punk! We want to celebrate the richness of global musical expression, so have no genre requirements – we welcome hybrid fusions, the wonderfully innovative and fresh takes on tried and tested sounds.
Unfortunately, we currently don’t have the capacity to accept applications for DJs; as much as we’d love to listen to all of the mixes we get sent – we simply don’t have the people power to get through them all! Best of luck!
FOOD TRADERS
Please familiarise yourselves with our trader standards here, ahead of applying. Vulan is proudly Red Meat & Fish Free and since 2018 we have Gone off Milk (meaning we have removed cow’s milk from our hot drink offering).
Take some time to look at our commitments to regenerative growing, our sustainable initiatives and the food culture we’re cooking up onsite. We’re after food that sustains Vulan with quality stuff and tells a story!
MEDICAL TEAM STAFF
Come and join our amazing Medical team, who keep our Vulan tribe safe and sound. We welcome a range of allied professionals with emergency care experience including Doctors, RGNs, RMNs, RCNs, Paramedics, Technicians, ECA’s, HCA’s and Welfare Staff.
APPLICATIONS TO TRADE AT VULAN
We’re after traders who have wonderful wears to sell. If you’ve got high quality bits to peddle, that are ethically procured, lovingly made, sustainable and socially conscious – we want to hear from you! Please take time to read through what considerations we expect our traders to engage with – from environmental impact, cultural appropriation, to restrictions on amplified music.
THERAPIST & WELLBEING WORKSHOPS
