Grant News
Arts Council England (ACE) has announced that the second round of its Incentivising Touring: Repayable Grants for Theatre and Dance scheme will launch in July 2025.
Aimed at supporting regional touring across England, the scheme offers repayable grants of up to 25% of a production’s capitalisation costs, up to a maximum of £500,000.
The funding is designed to reduce the risks associated with touring mid- and large-scale productions, encouraging boards and investors to support additional tours and attract broader investment.
If supported tours are commercially successful, the grants will be returned to ACE for reinvestment in future tours.
In the first round, over £2 million in repayable grants was awarded to eight dance and theatre producers to support their first production tours.
