City of Edinburgh Council: Local Events Open Fund 2026/27
Closing date: Sun 8 Mar 2026: 11pm
Back to opportunities
Applications are now open for the Local Events Open Fund 2026/27.
To support the aims of the Edinburgh Event Strategy, the City of Edinburgh Council launched the Local Events Open Fund in 2025. The Local Events Open Fund 2026/27 will expand upon the success of the initial year and will offer the opportunity of multi-year funding to support the longer-term sustainability of Edinburgh's creative sector.
This Fund underlines the Council's commitment to the local creative sector and will support events that demonstrate:
– Commitment to communities;
– Display environmental responsibility; and
– Apply fair work and equality, diversity and inclusion principles.
Priority will be given to events held outside of the City Centre Ward but not to the exclusion of those held in central Edinburgh. The Council welcomes applications from a range of event disciplines and would encourage applicants to explore all funding options to ensure that the Local Events Open fund is the most appropriate.
For further information, please contact (Events Team) or visit
Closing date: Sun 8 Mar 2026: 11pm
