2026 Ceremony
Get ready for an unforgettable celebration as the Beautiful South Awards return on Thursday 10th December 2026 hosted by Tourism South East – back bigger, better, and more exciting than ever before. This highly anticipated event promises to bring together the very best of the tourism and hospitality sector for an evening of recognition, connection, and celebration in truly spectacular surroundings.
This year, we are proud to host the awards at the stunning East Sussex National Hotel & Resort, near Uckfield. Renowned for its luxurious setting, the venue offers first-class facilities including a relaxing spa, excellent leisure amenities, and championship golf courses. It’s the perfect backdrop for an event that celebrates excellence, innovation, and achievement across the region.
The Beautiful South Awards are more than just a ceremony – they are an opportunity to recognise the incredible talent, dedication, and diversity that define our industry across the nine counties of South East of England. From outstanding customer service to ground breaking business initiatives, this event shines a spotlight on the individuals and teams who continue to raise the bar year after year.
Guests can look forward to an inspiring and vibrant atmosphere, where success is shared and stories are celebrated. It’s a chance to come together as a community – honouring achievements while strengthening the connections that drive our sector forward.
The evening also offers invaluable opportunities to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones. Whether you’re catching up with long-standing industry colleagues or making fresh acquaintances, the awards provide the perfect environment to expand your network, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships.
And the celebration doesn’t stop when the awards end. For guests staying at the hotel, an exclusive after party will keep the energy going well into the night. It’s the ideal way to unwind, celebrate wins, and enjoy the company of peers in a more relaxed and festive setting.
With its timing just before the Christmas season, the Beautiful South Awards also double as the ultimate end-of-year celebration. It’s a moment to reflect on the successes of the past year, reward hard work, and look ahead with excitement to what the future holds.
Whether you’re attending as a finalist, a supporter, or simply to be part of this incredible event, the Beautiful South Awards 2026 promise an evening of inspiration, connection, and celebration not to be missed. Join us for a night where achievements are honoured, friendships are strengthened, and the spirit of our industry truly shines.
Booking will be available in early summer here.
