Local pubs, restaurants and cafés can now apply for funding through a new Government £10 million three-year Hospitality Grant Scheme.
Money will be invested into projects that help get new hospitality ventures off the ground, bring vacant premises back into use, or support training programmes that help people develop the skills, confidence and work ethic to open doors to future careers.
Round 1 of the Fund is intended to support delivery ready projects that can mobilise quickly and contribute to effective spend within the 2026–27 financial year.
The application window is now open and will close on 13 October 2026.
