Call for Village Green stallholders!

We are looking for people selling folk-related craft and produce for stalls on the Village Green at Wellyfest 2025. 

This could include woodwork, metalwork, pottery ceramics, knitted goods, musical instruments, candles, and a wide range of fabric goods. There is no charge for having a stall and in 2025, we’re offering two free Festival registrations for each stall. 

Wellyfest happens each year at Labour Weekend on a beautiful site off Moore’s Valley Road in Wainuiomata. It attracts around 700 as day visitors or weekend campers. The Village Green will be located in the area off the end of the Maire Hall, in an area between the main concert marquee and the smaller venues and main food outlet. There is space for up to 20 stalls.

Opening of Early Bird Ticket Sales Postponed

Just a quick heads up from the Committee – we had intended to open early bird ticket sales for the Festival earlier this week.  However, in the light of recent events, as set out below, this has been postponed. 

Unfortunately, Hiremaster, the Festival’s primary infrastructure provider for many years, has been placed in liquidation. Arrangements were in place for Hiremaster to again provide most of the infrastructure for this year’s Festival.  As a result of the liquidation of the company we are now having to wait a week or so to learn whether those arrangements will be honoured.  

In the meantime we are investigating possible alternative suppliers, should these be needed, what the costs might be, and what the implications might be for our budget and for ticket prices.  

Thank you for your patience.
