Open Call – for facilitators, performers, artists and crafts people
Glenveagh National Park is committed to authentic community engagement, sustainable development and provision of quality, meaningful visitor experiences. To that end, Glenveagh Park Management are inviting expressions of interest from artists, craftspeople, musicians, facilitators and suitable businesses that can contribute to the Parks programme of events throughout 2026.
In keeping with the parks role as a Natura 2000 site for nature conservation, we are seeking high quality, sustainable and locally sourced products, services and experiences that support the aims and objectives of the National Park. Services offered must reflect and promote connections with the landscape of Donegal, its culture, heritage and language.
In 2026, the Le Chéile don Dúlra, Biodiversity Week Festival (May) and Heritage Week (August) are of particular importance. However, there may be other opportunities as the year progresses.
Interested individuals or groups must:
- Have public liability insurance and provide proof of this in advance of any event
- State their availability and 2026 prices
- Provide a minimum of three examples of their work and attendance at other high profile events and venues
- Include links to an associated website and/or social media
- Be 18 yrs or older, or have a suitable adult/guardian to liaise with Park management on your behalf
An acceptance of an expression of interest does not guarantee work and serves to collate an initial list of suitable contacts only. By applying, you consent to Glenveagh National Park holding your contact details for the next 12 months, solely for the purpose of event planning and delivery.
To express interest email clare.bromley@npws.gov.ie with the required details. The closing date for the submission of expressions is Monday 9th February.
