Following the success of the initial weather-proofing fund which allowed the tourism attraction sector to invest in weather-proofing measures, a new, second phase will support small tourism and hospitality businesses to mitigate the impact of all weather and enhance the experience for visitors.

Grants of between £5,000 and £20,000 per project are available to support the installation of weather-proofing measure, such as new covered outdoor areas, dining pods, or surfacing and drainage.

The scheme is open to small enterprises with 9 to 49 permanent employees that have been trading for at least one year, including:

  • Accommodation providers
  • Food and drink establishments
  • Recreational and outdoor activities

Further information is available at Funding | Supporting you | Industry Visit Wales. The fund opens on 29 September and closes on 1pm 27 October 2025.
