Funding boost for local festivals
The aim is to celebrate all that’s great about Calderdale, sending out a clear message that it’s open for business.
The new fund is part of Calderdale Council’s continued work to help residents and businesses get back on their feet by boosting tourism, trade and morale.

It saw thousands of people enjoying a lantern parade to celebrate what the towns have to offer and provided a real boost to trade and tourism.
The council hope that the upcoming events and festivals will attract a similar high turnout and be just as successful.
The deadline for grant applications is Friday, April 1. Successful applicants could have the money in their accounts as soon as April 22.
