The health and safety of our guests, suppliers and staff is our main priority at all our events.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will follow advice from Public Health England, the World Health Organisation and both local and national government.
With the introduction of the third national lockdown, we have decided to expand the calendar, moving the event from its revised date in late June to the end of November, giving businesses more time to put forward nominations while ensuring that the event can be held in person.
Businesses now have until August 20 to enter. The finalists will be announced on September 10, and they will then be given the opportunity to put their best case to the judges on September 22 and 23.
The Red Rose Awards 2021 will go ahead. We aim to hold the awards ceremony live at Winter Gardens Blackpool on Thursday 25 November 2021. If this is not possible, we will adapt to hold the event to ensure best practice is followed, based on official advice.
We look forward to seeing you for the Red Rose Awards ceremony!
