Events supported in the past include the Le Fete de la Musique a la Ville, the Guernsey Lily Film Festival,  the Sarnia Rug Rats workshops and the Guernsey Jazz Festival. Culture Guernsey are always keen to support events which are of benefit to local residents, attract visitors to the Island and improve the visitor experience. Events which involve youth and can develop and educate those who take part are also more likely to receive support from Culture Guernsey. 

How Do I Apply?
