The presentation of CAMRA\u2019s Pub Design Awards took place on 26 August, necessarily, at the time, via Zoom. There were no winners in the Greater London area but I thought it worth letting readers know the winners in case, now that it is possible to get out and about again, people wish to visit.<\/p>\n
The Design Awards aim to recognise the most impressive architecture, design and conservation in British pubs across several different categories as follows:<\/p>\n
Best refurbishment \u2013 joint winners<\/strong> Best refurbishment \u2013 highly commended<\/strong> Conversion to Pub Use \u2013 joint winners<\/strong> Historic England Conservation Award<\/strong> Community Local Award<\/strong> Andrew Davison, the chair of the judging panel, commented, \u201cWe are delighted to be celebrating the range of high-quality architecture and design that can be found in pubs across the United Kingdom today, especially after the trials of the last few months. This year\u2019s judges have selected a fantastic range of buildings, from a structure once used as a brick manufacturer\u2019s showroom to a beloved local that underwent a refurbishment planned to be as eco-friendly as possible. They are examples of pubs that have been lovingly curated and preserved, and in some cases that have stood the test of time for years and years. Now restrictions have lifted, we hope to join you all in celebrating this achievement with a visit to the pub and a pint at the bar. We had a difficult time narrowing it down to just these seven awardees \u2013 congratulations to them all.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n More information about the winners is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n PUB SAVING AWARD NOMINATIONS 2021<\/p>\n This award is CAMRA\u2019s way of celebrating the achievements of groups that have successfully campaigned to save their local pub.
