SoGlos is starting the year with an exciting announcement — the Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards are back for 2025!
The eighth annual Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards, in partnership with co-headline partners Pro Global and Made in Gloucestershire, are set to bring another vibrant celebration of the county's thriving lifestyle sector to a brand-new venue in May 2025.
With valued support from our esteemed category and event partners, this year's event is shaping up to be one of the best yet — following on from the success of the 2024 Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards, which brought SoGlos's flagship awards evening to The Sub Rooms in Stroud.
Pro Global returns as headline partner for the second year running. A world leader in specialist insurance, this Gloucester-born company delivers transformational change and outsourcing expertise to its clients and now has a global presence, with offices across the UK, Europe and South America — streamlining and enhancing the operational effectiveness of insurance businesses all over the world.
Also joining as headline partner for 2025, Made in Gloucestershire is a county-wide initiative to champion Gloucestershire's food and drink producers, connecting them with locals, tourists and hospitality businesses to raise public awareness. Through its fully funded initiative, Made in Gloucestershire provides free membership and promotional benefits to food and drink businesses across the county.
When are the Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards 2025?
This year's Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards take place on Thursday 8 May 2025 at Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham.
Returning event partners, PR Production Services and compere Steve Knibbs are signed up to help make it a night to remember — with thanks to the Cheltenham Trust for not only providing us with a showstopping venue but catering the event as official food and drinks partner, too.
