Before you apply

The application form is named for the 2026 year ("Interim Event Investment Programme Application Form 2026"), which is why this is marked as an annual round rather than a fixed date — the council's page does not state an opening month for the next round. Council also offers non-funding help for event organisers: venue and facilities advice, permits and licences guidance, and marketing tips. Phone (04) 237 5089.
