Celebrating Style and Accessibility: Blue Badge Awards 2026

At Euan’s Guide, we’re always looking for venues that go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome. That’s why we’re proud to support the Blue Badge Access Awards 2026, an event that celebrates the best in stylish, thoughtful accessibility. After our founder, Euan MacDonald MBE, was named Access Champion of the Year 2025, we’re eager to see who will be recognized this year.

The awards ceremony, themed “Rights of Passage,” will take place on Thursday 30 April 2026 at the Rooftop Bar, South Place Hotel in London. It will be a night of live music, great food, and the celebration of venues that prove accessibility and design excellence can go hand in hand.

We Need Your Nominations

The awards are now open for nominations, and we’d love to hear about your top picks for:

Best Bar: Outstanding accessibility in a bar where the atmosphere is as inclusive as the entrance.

Best Restaurant: Dining experiences that welcome everyone, from the menu to the seating.

Best Accessible Day Out: Venues and attractions that offer a seamless and enjoyable experience for disabled visitors.

Nominations are open to the public, and self-nominations are welcome. Entries close at noon on 5 April 2026, with the shortlist announced two weeks later. You can submit your nominations directly on the Blue Badge Access Awards website.

And if you happen to be in London on 30 April tickets for the final ceremony are available now. Whether you’re a nominee, a business owner, or simply passionate about accessibility, it’s a great evening and everyone’s welcome.
