UK government pledges £400m to help arts organisations recover from lockdown

More than 2,500 arts organisations across the country will share £400 million in loans and grants, as part of the latest round of the government’s culture recovery fund.

The money is aimed at helping organisations and events recover from the months of lockdown closure – and look towards reopening again.

So from small theatres to big festivals – there’s finally some hope – but what will the future look like?
