Over sixty businesses, community groups and individuals from across the region have been shortlisted as finalists for the 2026 awards with winners being announced at the event, which will also include culture, entertainment and food inspired by the city and the county.
And now tickets are available to purchase for the celebration which attracted more than 700 guests last year including businesspeople, community leaders and local politicians.
Corin Crane, chief executive of the Chamber, said: “We’re just over six weeks away from the Business and Community Awards 2026 and we’re delighted to get tickets on sale for the event.
“It was our first year of putting on the awards 12 months ago and it was a spectacular showcase of so much that is great about Coventry and Warwickshire.
“We get to honour some brilliant businesses, community groups and individuals through the awards but the event is so much more than that – it’s a proper celebration of Coventry and Warwickshire.
“It brings people together from a whole host of organisations and attracts local decision-makers and dignitaries too. We have made the tickets affordable so that it’s not prohibitive to anyone enabling as many businesses and community groups as possible to join us on the night.
“I am really excited for this one!”
