The two biggest dates in Gloucestershire's awards calendar are officially confirmed for 2027, with SoGlos announcing the return of its flagship celebrations to Pittville Pump Room and Cheltenham Town Hall.
Building on the success of its previous events and strengthening its longstanding relationship with charity The Cheltenham Trust, Gloucestershire's leading media brand will once again bring together hundreds of the county's most inspiring businesses, organisations and individuals for two unforgettable celebrations.
The Gloucestershire Lifestyle & Community Awards will return to Pittville Pump Room on Thursday 20 May 2027, followed by the Gloucestershire Business Awards at Cheltenham Town Hall on Thursday 4 November 2027.
The announcement marks the third consecutive year that both awards will be hosted at the same prestigious venues, reflecting their popularity with finalists, partners and guests.
Gloucestershire Lifestyle & Community Awards 2027
Following the successful introduction of an expanded community focus in 2026, the Gloucestershire Lifestyle & Community Awards will return for its milestone tenth year.
The awards celebrate the very best of Gloucestershire's lifestyle sector alongside the charities, volunteers, community groups and inspirational individuals who make the county such a special place to live, work and visit.
From outstanding restaurants, attractions and entertainment venues to grassroots sports clubs, fundraisers and community champions, the awards shine a spotlight on the people and organisations making a positive difference across Gloucestershire.
The spectacular Grade I listed Pittville Pump Room, overlooking Pittville Park, will once again provide the perfect backdrop for the live reveal of the winners.
Gloucestershire Business Awards 2027
Firmly established as an annual highlight of Gloucestershire's business calendar, the Gloucestershire Business Awards will celebrate their seventh year in 2027 as they continue to recognise and celebrate the county's most successful, innovative and inspiring businesses, from ambitious start-ups and growing SMEs to established industry leaders.
Following another hugely competitive year in 2026, which attracted around 300 entries across 16 categories, the 2027 awards promise another fantastic opportunity to recognise the achievements of Gloucestershire's thriving business community.
With their distinctive relaxed atmosphere, high-profile judging panel and rigorous awards process, the awards bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals from across the county to celebrate outstanding achievements and make valuable new connections.
Continuing a successful partnership with The Cheltenham Trust
The confirmation of both venues further strengthens SoGlos's successful partnership with The Cheltenham Trust, the independent charity responsible for managing some of Cheltenham's most significant cultural and heritage venues.
With the grandeur of Pittville Pump Room and the impressive scale of Cheltenham Town Hall, both venues provide fitting settings for celebrating the very best of Gloucestershire.
SoGlos co-founder and managing director James Fyrne said: 'We're delighted to make this announcement as these two iconic venues have proven to be such a successful part of the awards experience. We've received fantastic feedback from finalists, partners and guests, so we're thrilled to be continuing our successful partnership with The Cheltenham Trust for another year.
'Our awards are all about celebrating the people, organisations and businesses that make Gloucestershire such an incredible county, and we're already looking forward to 2027.'
Jessica Brewster, chief executive of The Cheltenham Trust, said: 'We’re delighted to showcase Pittville Pump Room and Cheltenham Town Hall through these two much-loved events, welcoming the people and organisations whose achievements make Gloucestershire such a special place.
'We’re proud to continue our partnership with SoGlos, bringing our wonderful heritage venues to life through celebrations of local business, creativity and community spirit. We look forward to welcoming finalists, partners and guests back for another memorable year in 2027.'
