Events may include, but are not limited to fayres, galas, music concerts, food and drink events, cultural and sporting events, festive celebrations and funfairs.
“The Fife Events Development Fund will help get local community event organisers back on their feet so they can continue to host the events which are so valuable to our communities.
“Fife’s year-round vibrant programme of events clearly demonstrates significant wellbeing and economic benefits, and this fund will contribute towards their recovery.”
