Nottingham arts organisations handed £4.6 million life-line from the Culture Recovery Fund

On Monday 12 October, the Arts Council announced an investment of £257 million in 1,385 venues, theatres, museums and cultural organisations, through the first tranche of the Culture Recovery Fund. Several Nottingham-based organisations were in receipt of funding, coming at a critical time for the industry, many of whom have not been able to stage public events since mid-March.

DHP, who own Rock City and the Bodega, received £908,004, the largest amount awarded to any Nottingham organisation. The Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall, who cancelled their pantomime this year, received £851,604. Broadway Cinema, which has recently reopened to the public after a prolonged period of closure, received £419,015. There was relief for smaller independent venues and organisations in the city too; The Chameleon Arts Cafe, known for its intimate, DIY gigs received £77,161 in funding, and Nottingham Arts Theatre received £50,000.

All of the Nottingham venues who received support from the Culture Recovery Fund can be seen below.
