The Club Hub Awards are the only national awards for children’s activity providers, with entry by application form only and no voting element. The awards were established in 2019 and were set up to recognise and celebrate the amazing work of the children’s activities sector. The awards are offered across 15 categories, to reflect the diversity of the sector and the wide range of businesses that offer children’s activities, classes, clubs, events or services to support this sector. You must be a Club Hub member to take part.
The Club Hub Event 2025 will take place on Saturday 10th May 2025. 10am to 6pm at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel, Birmingham. Finalists must attend to be in with a chance of winning an award.
The event is designed to help you grow your children’s activity business through a choice of workshops, guest speakers and lots of networking opportunities. The ticket price includes a hot buffet lunch, snacks and drinks.
