Your Excellence in Housewares Awards experience starts here

Today’s the day and we’re so excited to welcome you all to The Royal Lancaster this evening for the Excellence in Housewares Awards 2023.

When you arrive at the venue, you will be welcomed with a glass or two of fizz, kindly sponsored by our good friends at Burton McCall.

There is then a range of exciting features to explore, including a selfie wall from EKAU, a photo booth courtesy of Pure Table Top – make sure to use #HousewaresAwards23 in your social media posts – and an amazing cocktail station from our Dutch friends at Air Tender.

If you’re looking to add a little extra sparkle to your awards outfit, you can then head over to our glitter station for a semi-permanent reminder of your evening. There will be a prize for the most glamorous glitter attendee, so post your selfies with #HousewaresGlitter, and we’ll choose the winner.

We are thrilled to be joined by comedian, Jake Lambert, who will host the evening’s events. Described as a ‘joke machine’ by The Telegraph, Jake is sure to get the evening off to a bang as he welcomes the industry with his ‘non-stop gag-filled’ storytelling.

Some wonderful prizes have been kindly donated for the raffle this year, so make sure to get your tickets ready, as every penny goes to our incredible industry charity, The Rainy Day Trust, and the equally amazing licensing industry charity, The Light Fund.

As if that’s not enough, once the wonderful meal has been consumed, and the winners have been crowned, it’s time to head to the casino tables. The team at Expose Travel – official travel partner to the Inspired Home Show in Chicago, is offering the winner of the evening a generous prize of a flight and hotel for the show next March. The games will be independently vetted by the croupiers and terms apply.

The evening’s entertainment will be accompanied by the brilliant MoonDance, so make some time to throw some shapes on the dancefloor, too.
