Culture Quest Activities Grants

Culture Quest will bring together 100+ Dorset cultural organisations and freelancers to deliver inspiring arts and cultural activity for children aged 5-11 in Summer 2026. Through a Culture Passport, children will be encouraged to explore Dorset’s rich creative offer trying new activities, discovering new interests and building confidence through first-time experiences.

Do you have an idea for an activity for children aged 5–11 over the summer holidays? If you need funding, we’d love to hear from you!
Grants of up to £750 per organisation or practitioner are available.

To apply, please send the following information to hello@theartsdevelopmentcompany.org.uk :

  • How much funding you require

  • How many young people can take part

Please note: you will need to provide evidence of a valid DBS check and have appropriate safeguarding policies in place.

Deadline: Thursday 30th April
