Walpole British Luxury Awards

The annual Walpole British Luxury Awards is the only event dedicated to celebrating the very best high-end products and services from a diverse range of British businesses, spanning multiple sectors: from fashion, fragrance and fine jewellery to hotels, automobiles and accessories. The winners of these prestigious awards are selected by a panel of industry experts, headed up by Walpole’s Chairman and CEO, and are presented during a glittering ceremony held in central London venues including Banqueting House, The Victoria & Albert Museum and The Dorchester.

Brands are invited to nominate themselves for the Awards in the summer months, ahead of the ceremony each November. For more information on the Walpole British Luxury Awards, please click here to contact the Walpole Awards team.
