The Culture Recovery Fund is designed to give money to entertainment and art venues who have been unable to open during lockdowns

The government are giving entertainment and art venues funds to help them continue to stay open after the pandemic, as part of the £400 million Culture Recovery Fund.

2,700 English culture and heritage venues have been selected to share the funds, with cinemas, theatres, art galleries and even music festival Glastonbury being selected.

Glastonbury festival organiser Emily Eavis said the money would "make a huge difference in helping to secure our future".
