Club Hub UK is delighted to announce that applications are officially open for the 2027 Club Hub Awards and Top 100 Children’s Activity Providers, celebrating the outstanding businesses and individuals making a difference to children and families across the UK.
This year’s awards are particularly special as Club Hub UK celebrates its 10th birthday, marking a decade of supporting children’s activity providers and helping families discover activities across the country.
From 2nd November 2026, children’s activity providers, franchises, independent businesses, attractions and industry suppliers are invited to apply across a refreshed range of award categories, recognising business growth, innovation, inclusion, customer experience and contributions to the wider industry.
Unlike popularity-based awards, the Club Hub Awards are 100% judged, with no public voting. Every application is assessed on its merits by an independent judging panel, ensuring businesses of all sizes have the opportunity to be recognised.
Tessa Day, Founder of Club Hub UK, says: “When I started Club Hub UK 10 years ago as a children’s activity provider myself, I never imagined the incredible community we would build together.
The Club Hub Awards and Top 100 are our opportunity to give something back to the businesses and individuals who work tirelessly to make a difference to children and families every day.
We’ve refreshed our award categories for 2027 to recognise even more achievements across our industry, and I’m particularly proud that our awards are completely judged, with no public voting.
I can’t wait to celebrate this year’s applicants and our amazing community at the Club Hub Event in May!”
