Get Ready for the Exciting Return of the Liverpool Hospitality People Awards in 2026!

The vibrant city of Liverpool is gearing up for the return of the Liverpool Hospitality People Awards in 2026, an event dedicated to honoring the exceptional individuals who contribute to the city's thriving hospitality and visitor economy. This annual celebration promises to shine a spotlight on the talented workforce across various sectors, including hotels, restaurants, bars, and attractions.

A Celebration of Talent and Dedication

Set to take place with the support of prominent sponsors such as Liverpool Accommodation BID, Liverpool ONE, Saffron Vanilla, and Titanic Hotel Liverpool, the awards will feature an impressive lineup of 16 categories. Highlights include the prestigious Rising Star and Unsung Hero awards, which recognize both customer-facing staff as well as those whose efforts often go unnoticed behind the scenes.

Recognizing Inspirational Figures

Additionally, the event will honor inspirational figures with the exclusive Judges’ and Chairman’s Awards, designed to acknowledge those who have made a significant impact on the sector. Co-Chairs Peter Schriewersmann and Helen Roberts have emphasized that these awards are not just a ceremony; they symbolize a collective appreciation for the passion and hard work displayed by individuals and teams throughout the hospitality industry in the Liverpool City Region.

A Fundraising Effort for Good Causes

Moreover, the Liverpool Hospitality People Awards are committed to supporting charitable causes, with all proceeds from the event benefiting both local and national charities. Last year's awards raised over £25,000 for important initiatives, reflecting the community's dedication to giving back. With applications for the 2026 awards now open until 27 February 2026, there is an opportunity for even greater participation this time around.
