Chichester Fringe Commissioning Grant 2026
Applications for our Commissioning Grant are now closed but you can find out more about the grant below - and still apply for 2026 here.
In partnership with Chichester City Council, we're offering two artists or groups the opportunity to receive £250 to put toward their production costs and be a part of Chichester Fringe 2026.
The grant is designed to support artists into performing who may otherwise face financial barriers doing so.
