We're thrilled to announce that 2020 sees the return of the wonderful Jonathan Bremner as master of ceremonies - we can't wait!!
The What's On 4 Kids Activities Awards ceremony is the highlight in the industry calendar and every year is so memorable. This year, in these challenging times we appreciate it's most unlikely we will be holding a live event. Therefore further to discussions with our fantastic supporters NatWest we will be looking to bring you an online, virtual awards ceremony but we hope with all the pizazz and passion of previous years - plus some fun along the way!
We will be updating this website and advising all finalists and supporters in due course. Thank you for your understanding.
In the meantime enjoy a few photos of the event in 2019 that included the singing talents of The Girls from Oz, the amazing Little Voice choir and the wonderful hosting from Jonathan Bremner of course. And that was as well as announcing 30 award winners!
