About the Awards

These awards are not just about recognition; they are about redefining the way we view venues and events.

By shining a light on the stories behind these spaces, we seek to showcase their diversity, resilience, and ingenuity while developing a deeper appreciation for their contributions. From the way tradition and modern ideas come together effortlessly, to the innovative reimagining of spaces as destination dining hubs, the awards reflect a sector that is continually evolving. They will highlight venues and the people behind them who are pushing boundaries, creating unforgettable experiences, and leaving lasting legacies
