Awards of Recognition & Achievement 2026

An incredible evening celebrating amazing deaf children and young people as nominated by their friends, families and professionals who support them.  The ceremony is followed by a splendid, luxurious 3-course meal, prepared and cooked by the team at The Canterbury Cathedral Lodge Hotel, who regularly host celebratory and royal guests.  An impressive venue within the grounds of a beautiful Cathedral.

We invite all WINNERS to join us for the event with our compliments.  Winners are able to bring a guest to join them, who is also free of charge.  All other guests connected to the winner will need to purchase tickets.  

Ticket Notes:

Winner Table of x10, including free winner space and free guest space

This allows those who know there will be many in the group attending to celebrate their loved one’s win to book one table and ensure they are all sitting together. The price takes into account that a winner is sitting at this table, and therefore they are complimentary as is their guest. The Table can be made up of children and adults.  Please do not have fewer than 8 at this table.
