Bursary Applications 2026

We are introducing a Bursary Scheme in 2026 for retail food and drink producers from the West Country area, who are within a 30 mile radius of Dartmouth. We would like to encourage smaller or newer artisan businesses who would not normally be able to afford a pitch at a large food festival, or who might not be able to produce the amount of stock needed for a two or three day event to apply.

 

Successful Bursary Scheme applicants will receive either a one or two day pitch at the 2026 Dartmouth Food Festival. They will also receive a spotlight feature in our festival newsletter and promotion across our social media channels. They will also be listed on our website under our exhibitor section, including a link to their own website or social media account. There are three Bursary Scheme retail pitches available this year.
