This page gives you all the support and information you need to become an “event host” by lodging an event listing/grant application.

Please read the Tuku 26 Event Host Information Pack for advice on listing and grant criteria.

The festival team will be in touch with all listing and grant applicants in mid January 2026. At that stage you will know if your event will be in the programme. After that, the following advice on how to undertake health and safety risk assessment and comms/promotion planning may be useful.
