Edinburgh Bursary 2025

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the world’s largest arts festival. It offers the opportunity to develop and present work to diverse audiences and to showcase to UK and international programmers.

It is also an important platform and marketplace to connect and network with creative professionals from across the UK and the world through events, meetings and workshops.

For Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, Arts Council Wales is focussing on support for sector engagement with the well-established UK and international networks attending the Fringe, with a view to increased connections and exploring future showcasing, collaboration and presentation opportunities.

The aim of Edinburgh Bursary 2025 is to connect with and explore UK and international networking opportunities at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. We will be looking to support a combination of emerging and established individuals and organisations.

The Edinburgh Bursary 2025 programme will give you a chance to attend networking and Fringe Connect events, alongside an opportunity to see high quality work.

To maximise impact and value for the Edinburgh Bursary 2025 programme, we will be working with our partners Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, British Council and other UK and international partners to identify relevant networking opportunities.

We anticipate making up to 15 bursaries to individuals and groups.
