Chichester Fringe Commissioning Grant 2026
Applications for our Commissioning Grant are now closed and winners will be announced in spring 2026.
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.
