Fairport’s Cropredy Convention Receives Lifeline Grant

Fairport’s Cropredy Convention Music Festival has been awarded £200,000 as part of the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund (CRF) to help face the challenges of the Coronavirus Pandemic and to ensure they have a sustainable future.

Fairport’s Cropredy Convention is one of 1,385 cultural and creative Organisations across the country receiving urgently needed support.

Gareth Williams, Cropredy’s Festival Organiser, said ”We have all seen how hard this Covid Pandemic has hit the Festival industry and how 2020 has basically been a write-off. This most welcome grant from the Culture Recovery Fund secures the future of our Festival for 2021 and will help us cover any additional costs of providing extra safety measures we will need to put in place next summer. We can now plan ahead for 2021 with fresh confidence.”
