The Exhibitions Group (UK): Example Touring Exhibition Expenditure & Income Plan

The Exhibitions Group (UK) helps everyone involved in exhibition making to connect and create relevant, sustainable, diverse and accessible exhibitions with our training, resources, and networking opportunities.

Careful budgeting and financial planning are key to the success of a touring exhibition, particularly because expenditure and income are likely to straddle a number of financial years. See here for Budgeting & Financial Planning guide.

This accompanying worksheet document is designed to assist with scoping and planning expenditure and can be used as a basis for developing a cash flow document for the project duration. A cash flow document is essential for touring, as expenditure may need to be made up-front, before income is derived from hire fees etc.
