Support for creative industries

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.
