We were absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted in the Festival Supplier Awards 2026 and to attend the event on Thursday 29th January at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London!

These annual awards are judged by some of the most experienced event organisers in the UK, and we were thrilled to have been selected as finalists in two categories:

Best New Product/ Service
Best Support Service

Considering our director, Kate, only relaunched the business in Spring 2024 under sole leadership, we were so pleased that our case study entry for our contract at Glastonbury Festival received such high acknowledgement in the awards categories.

We were welcomed to the black tie event by a glass of bubbles at the door, and into a beautiful bar filled with other finalists, sponsors, and attendees. The dining room itself was huge and looked very grand indeed, set up with about 50 cabaret tables! Eat to the Beat had supplied logo’d brioche rolls on the tables, and the selection of wines were delicious.

The awards had a lot of categories, so the presenters ran through them promptly, and in an organised fashion. We didn’t win either of the categories we were shortlisted for, but we were expecting that outcome as we were astounded to have been lucky enough to be in the shortlist at all! It was such a fun evening, the food was delicious, and the company even better. Thanks to the organisers for such a great industry event!
