Education Estates® Awards

The Education Estates® 2026 Awards recognise excellence in the design, build, management, and maintenance of educational facilities. They celebrate outstanding achievements across various categories within the education sector.

The dress code is: Black Tie/Formal Evening Wear. 

Black tie is a formal dress code. For men, that typically means a tuxedo (dinner jacket) with a bow tie, though a dark formal suit is usually an acceptable alternative. For women, it means formal evening wear, an evening gown, cocktail dress, or elegant formal separates. The idea is to dress for a special, celebratory occasion so think awards ceremony or gala, not business smart.

 

The awards are held this year at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Oxford St, Manchester M60 7HA

Tables and individual seats can be booked via our Booking Form. Table of 10 - £3,240 (incl VAT) (rate available for first 10 tables)
