About the grant scheme

We offer grants to support event organisers to hold events and festivals with more than 2,500 attendees across the city of Southampton. Grants up to £5,000 are available to support up to 50% of the costs of events and festivals that are accessible to the general public.

Applications are welcome from non-profit organisations such as voluntary and community groups, social enterprises, faith organisations, schools, PTAs, ‘Friends of’ groups, for-profit businesses and sole traders (applications will be considered on a case by case basis).

Priority will be given to residents and organisations/businesses based in the City of Southampton.

Please note, for organisations hosting smaller events, please see our other grants available.
