Established in 2024, the fund supported festival organizers and managers with funding, skill, network and knowledge to enhance festival management and ensure scalability and sustainability.

In its second edition, the Festival Connect Fund offers a total of £100,000 in funding to support creatives across both regions. The fund focuses on collaborative projects that encourage cultural exchange, artistic innovation, and deeper engagement between creators. It seeks to support initiatives that generate new festival experiences, co-created artistic works across creative technology, film, dance, music, literature, and multidisciplinary art. Additionally, the fund aims to explore hybrid and sustainable formats while facilitating partnerships that promote mobility, community involvement, and shared storytelling through the medium of festivals.
