Gloucester City Council’s Outdoor Events Fund is an annual funding pot of £50,000 which provides grants between £10,000 - £15,000 to organisations or individuals holding an event in Gloucester. 

It is designed to endorse events and enable applicants to leverage in income from other sources (including from funding bodies such as Awards for All and Arts Council England, crowdfunding, philanthropy, sponsorship, and ticket sales revenue).

How to apply

Grants awarded from the Outdoor Events Fund will be conditional on the project securing its expected income from other sources and will only be released when evidence is provided that other income has been secured. The event can be brand new or well established / having taken place previously.
