Bursaries for Young Creatives

To date, we have awarded sixteen £2,500 Bursaries to Young Creatives, aged 18-25 years. The bursaries support them to develop and deliver projects around the region to support the creative journeys of other young people. Each bursary recipient is supported by the Festival and a local organisation to deliver their projects.

Applications for 2026 Bursaries will open in September 2025

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
