Croydon Council announces grants scheme for music gigs

Following Croydon’s year as the Mayor of London’s London Borough of Culture, Croydon Council is continuing to build upon its legacy of supporting the cultural sector through a new Gigs Grants microgrant scheme.
The scheme will be open to applications for up to £2,500 toward the delivery of a music-based event between 27 January and 23 March 2025.

This might include bands playing in pubs; a music promoter or venue organising a one-off special event; the inclusion of live music as part of a wider event such as a multi-art form festival/event or a development event.

The scheme is designed to help support the on-going celebration of Croydon’s music history and Croydon-based venues and creatives during (what can be) the quieter winter months.

To be eligible for this funding, you must be a Croydon-based:

  • Pub/bar/hospitality venue
  • Music/Arts Venue
  • Music/Arts organisation
  • Voluntary Music organisation
  • Faith organisation that hosts secular music events
