It's held in Winchester and this summer runs from Friday 3 – Sunday 5 July.
Whether you’re a singer, musician, comic, member of a choir or dance troupe, or have another unique short performance you would like to share with the public, this is your chance to shine!
The team is looking for acts to perform around the city centre on the Saturday (4 July). The deadline for applications is Thursday 27 February.
This year marks the 46th free, annual Hat Fair that last year broke records with over 90,000 attendances to shows from hundreds of professional national and international performers, including the best dance, theatre and circus acts; buskers – or Hatters, so called because they collect donations in a hat following their performance, and how the festival got its name; plus local talent, numerous colourful installations and lively workshops over the festival weekend.
To apply to be a local talent act, please visit hatfair.co.uk/info/artists and go to the ‘Local Talent’ section, or email Engagement Producer, Katrina Henderson at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
