North Yorkshire music festival receives £120,000 government grant
Deer Shed music and arts festival in Topcliffe has received £119,708 from the government's cultural recovery fund (CRF)
The government launched the £1.57 billion fund last year to support cultural and heritage sectors from the economic impact of covid.
The festival offers live music, comedy and arts across a weekend in Baldersby Park, which borders the Harrogate district. It has not been able to run a full festival for the last two years. However, it has run a smaller event on the site called Base Camp.
In November 2020, Deer Shed received a grant of £238,000 from the CRF.
