Arts Council England has 350 staff assigned to The Hive, 51 Lever Street. In the most recent week for which working figures are available, 7 September 2026, attendance was reported at 59% of Manchester based staff, over the course of the week.
ACE offers hybrid working and does not mandate a fixed number of office days each week but does encourage in office days for training, team and away days. Due to the nature of their work, staff are also regularly meeting with artists and arts organisations.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Twycross on 18 June (HL680), what assessment they have made of the appropriateness of Arts Council England funding Decolonise Fest.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Twycross on 18 June (HL680), what assessment they have made of the appropriateness of Arts Council England funding Decolonise Fest.
As stated in my response to HL680, Arts Council England funding decisions are made independently of the government. DCMS ensures that the Arts Council operates within the policy framework and controls set by Government. This reflects the arm's-length principle, under which Arts Council England is established as a non-departmental public body that makes funding decisions independently, and as such, DCMS does not routinely scrutinise individual funding decisions by Arts Council.
The Arts Council aims to fund a diverse range of cultural activity that represents the broad spectrum of views and interests of citizens and communities across the country. Where individuals have concerns about specific organisations supported by Arts Council or the conduct of individual funding recipients, these can be addressed by using Arts Council’s Raising a Concern process online.

As noted in the Cabinet Office Guide to Parliamentary Work, there is no provision for arm’s length bodies such as Arts Council England (ACE) to provide a reply directly to Written Parliamentary Questions (WPQs). DCMS strives to provide full responses to all WPQs from Honourable Members, including those about operational matters at ACE, with whom we work closely. ACE also has a range of publicly available data resources, including its National Investment Dashboard and annual National Portfolio Organisation survey results.

My Lords, I am delighted to have the chance to bring to the attention of the Government and the Committee the themes in this recent report, The New Boycott Crisis. If we value art as a crucial mirror on society, the corruption of art reflects social trends right back at...

My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Fox of Buckley, for bringing forward this important debate. The Freedom in the Arts report raises important questions about artistic freedom and the role of our cultural institutions in an increasingly polarised society. While Members may reach different conclusions about some of...

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Fox of Buckley, for securing this debate. The New Boycott Crisis raises issues that go well beyond disagreements over politics or foreign affairs. It asks whether we are still willing to defend one of the defining characteristics of a free...

My Lords, this subject is one of those where you suddenly think, “Yes, there shouldn’t be any form of cancellation”—here, primarily on grounds of antisemitism. I have always felt it to be rather absurd that the Abrahamic religions attack each other over which day they pray on, given that half...

My Lords, I too thank the noble Baroness, Lady Fox of Buckley, for introducing this important debate. Freedom of expression has always been the lifeblood of great art. Art flourishes through freedom, not conformity. History reminds us what happens when freedom is lost.

My Lord, in his great essay The Prevention of Literature, George Orwell wrote:
“imagination, like certain wild animals, will not breed in captivity”.
I think this is a little commented-on reason why the current repression of free speech and freedom in the arts is such a problem. It affects not only those...

That this House congratulates the Big Difference Company on over three decades delivering the Leicester Comedy Festival and associated events, making Leicester a nationally recognised centre for comedy and the performing arts; notes that the festival attracts over 80,000 attendees annually and contributes £10 million to the local economy; further notes that the festival has faced a severe funding crisis, including the loss of public grants and a £50,000 NHS grant across 2025 and 2026, leaving over 170 comedy professionals and independent businesses unpaid and forcing the cancellation of LCF In The Park; recognises that without resolution of an outstanding £100,000 debt, the 2027 festival faces cancellation, removing significant economic activity from Leicester's economy; and calls on the Government, including the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Arts Council England, to work urgently with local partners to address the systemic funding crisis facing regional arts festivals and prevent their loss due to short-term financial pressures.
