How we are supporting Torbay’s creative industries
Torbay’s Creative Industries cover a wide range of creative businesses from crafts to createch, and Torbay’s creative business owners have access to business growth support programmes, grant funding, and opportunities to network and collaborate.
We commissioned a research study into creative industries in Torbay. The recommendations have helped us build a long-term action plan to support the growth of the creative sector.
Torbay’s creative industries include:
We are delighted to announce year two of our Torbay Creative Showcase. This event celebrates the achievements of Torbay’s creative business owners, including those which graduated from the Devon Create Growth Programme 2025. The event is delivered in partnership with Creative UK and Innovate UK.
