Grants are available to theatre operators to improve the environmental sustainability of their theatres.

Grants of up to £20,000 are being made available through the Theatres Trust in partnership with the Wolfson Foundation.

The scheme can support a range of projects that consider different ways theatre buildings or equipment can reduce their environmental impact.

This can range from building management systems to more efficient water heaters, or a green roof to new windows.

Responses are anticipated approximately 16 weeks after the closing date, so this funding is not suitable for urgent or immediate work.

Applicants are advised to watch a recorded webinar, and read the guidance notes and terms and conditions before making an application. 

Due to the high volume of applications received, pre-application advice is no longer available.

The closing date for applications is 12 midday on Friday 5 September 2025.
