The Council is making available a total of £20,000 to support creative events taking place in the Borough of Colchester between 1st of May 2020 and 30th April 2021. This funding is available to events which complement the Council’s strategic aims and achieve at least two of the following objectives:

  • Deliver a high-quality cultural experience to a local audience
  • Develop and showcase local artistic talent
  • Encourage visitors to the Borough
  • Celebrate local communities

Registered charities constituted voluntary and community organisations, and not-for-profit groups and organisations are eligible to apply for this funding, requesting any amount between £200 and £1500. The closing date for applications is Sunday 19 January 2020.
