Travel Bursaries
We recognise that not everyone has equal access to live events and that the cost of travel is a barrier to some people. We have five travel bursaries of up to £65. We can offer these on a first come first served basis. A travel bursary is for you if you have financial barriers that would mean that you would not attend without this support.
We will not ask for any proof of circumstances, but will need cost of travel. To request a travel bursary please email info@craftspace.co.uk
