<p>The Government is committed to supporting our grassroots music venues, which are
the lifeblood and research and development centres of our world-leading music sector.</p><p>The
Music Venues Trust created Music Venue Properties and launched the ‘Own Our Venues’
campaign in June 2022. The campaign is currently raising funds to take control of
the freeholds of music venue premises and bring them under a protected status of benevolent
ownership. The Government is supportive of this industry-led initiative and welcomes
the sector seeking solutions to ensure the longevity of the UK’s beloved music venues.
Minister Lopez is meeting Music Venues Trust shortly to discuss issues facing the
live music sector, and how to support growth of the music sector and wider Creative
Industries.</p><p> </p>
