Wyboston Lakes Resort shortlisted for three major industry awards

Awards16 September 2026

Wyboston Lakes Resort has again been acknowledged as one of the leading UK conference venues by being shortlisted for three awards at the event industry’s Famtastic Awards 2026.

The award-winning conference, training and leisure venue is a finalist for Green Initiative of the Year, for Marketing Campaign of the Year and for Refurbishment or Rebrand of the Year.

The Green Initiative nomination is for its Room2Give scheme which has now been opened up nationwide as the Room2Give Charter.

Room2Give offers guests staying for more than one night the opportunity to choose to support one of three local charities instead of opting for a room clean. By displaying a colour coded door hanger, they select their preferred charity and a donation is made to the Room2Give fund.

After raising more than £64,000 since January 2025, Wyboston Lakes Resort invited hotels and venues nationwide to sign the Room2Give Charter and try to raise £1m for charities.

The Marketing Campaign that has earned the venue a place as a finalist is Beyond Expected whose key line was Events Reimagined, Experiences Redefined. The nomination for Refurbishment or Rebrand of the Year is for the transformation of its Waterfront Hotel into the Drift Inn with its Meeting Point meeting spaces.

Louisa Watson, Marketing Director & Sustainability Lead, said: “It’s an honour to be recognised in these awards because the judges include many of our customers and competitors, events professionals from across our industry. It’s a superb testimonial to the team, their creativity and the venue.”

The results of the Famtastic Awards 2026 will be announced at a gala event at the Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford on 30 October.
