Argyll and Bute Council

Argyll and Bute Strategic Events and Festivals Fund (Round 9, 2027-28)

About this grant

Argyll and Bute Council's Strategic Events and Festivals Fund supports events and festivals of strategic importance to Argyll and Bute that take place between 1 April 2027 and 31 March 2028. The fund can cover up to 20% of the total cost of an event. The total pot is £90,000 and the maximum request is £30,000, although most applicants are expected to ask for £2,500 to £5,000 and requests over £5,000 need substantial justification. Round nine is the only call for this period. Applications close at midday on Monday 16 November 2026 and are made through the council's online application.
