About the program
Experiencing different types of theatre is one of the most useful ways for artists to develop their craft and enrich their creativity. We now offer a fund for Gaelic-speaking theatre-professionals to attend productions and events that will support their development.
What support is available?
We can pay for the following costs:
- Tickets
- Travel (over £5.00)*, including additional travel or accommodation costs required for Highlands and Islands based artists
- Access costs, including for those with caring responsibilities
You can request support for performances or events related to theatre, that take place in Scotland, and for up to three events in one application.
*As outlined in our Sustainable Travel Policy, we prioritise public transport, and we won’t pay mileage for car use except when there is no option to take public transport. We do not cover air travel in any case.
Funding will be offered at the discretion of Theatre Gu Leòr. There is a finite budget for this each year and we may not be able to support all applications.
Who is eligible?
Applicants must be artists who:
- Are based in Scotland
- Use Gaelic as part of their work
- Work in the theatre sector, or are aiming to do so.
How do I apply?
Our remaining deadlines for 2025/26 are 15th December 2025 and 16th March 2026.
Fill in this online form to tell us about the performance(s) or event(s) you would like to attend and the support you are requesting. You’ll hear from us within two weeks.
If the performance/event is happening within two weeks, please fill in the form and also email info@theatreguleor.com to alert us, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
