Gloucester City Council has been awarded a grant of £50K from the third round of the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund to help the city’s cultural sector recover from the pandemic. 

 

More than £100million has been awarded to cultural organisations including Gloucester Guildhall and Museum of Gloucester in the latest round of support.

Gloucester Guildhall offers a variety of live shows such as music, comedy, theatre, dance, and contemporary film as well as participatory workshops and art exhibitions, and sees over 50,000 people passing through the doors annually.

 

The grant will compensate some of Gloucester Guildhall’s loss of income as a result of months of closures; as well as go towards developing a long term business plan to improve services and events for the future. 

 

While the funding awarded to the Museum of Gloucester will go towards making significant improvements to their website.

 

Over the past year the city council in total has received over £250K in funding from the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund.
