About the Awards

First established in 1976, the Leamington Society Awards recognise projects that make a positive contribution to Royal Leamington Spa’s buildings, streets and green spaces.

  • restoration of a significant period building
  • a new building or structure
  • improvements to an existing building
  • a new or restored interior visible to the public
  • a restored or new shopfront
  • landscaping, gardens, parks or planting
  • sculpture or public art
  • other improvements to the street scene

The Bill Gibbons Trophy is presented for an outstanding private improvement visible from the street.

A panel of judges, led by a distinguished architect from outside Leamington Spa, assesses all nominations. The winners will be announced and presented with their awards at the Awards Evening.

Over the years the Awards have recognised a wide range of projects across Leamington, celebrating the people, organisations and businesses whose care and creativity help shape the town’s future.
