This form is for events taking place from 1st November 2024 onwards, within single hospitality or leisure venues. As part of an extension to the Domestic Event Fund, venues can now apply for financial support for in-house events during the winter of 2024/25.

With the introduction of the Local Economy Strategy, additional funding has been allocated to reopen the single venue hospitality route for the Domestic Event Fund. This funding aims to support events in single venues, including those that may not be entirely new but have been successfully held in the past, such as live music or entertainment. Eligible venues may receive up to £1,500 in support, covering up to 80% of the total costs, with the remaining portion to be covered by the event organiser.

Please note that this funding applies to upcoming events only and cannot be used for events that have already taken place. The support is available for events scheduled between 1st November 2024 and 31st March 2025. The following application form has been developed specifically for this funding route. It is recommended to read the full guidelines ahead of submitting an application. Full terms and conditions that would apply to any offer of funding are available here.

To ensure there is enough time to process your application and address any follow-up queries, we kindly ask that applications are submitted at least two weeks before the event date.

If you wish to apply for larger events through the main route of the Domestic Event Fund please use the dedicated form available here.
