Heritage Award

We have inaugrated a new national award that recognises and celebrates the achievements of a heritage pub that has been revitalised in some way.

Pub heritage is an enduringly interesting and motivating factor to the general public and to CAMRA members. It is one of our most valuable assets with publications focusing on heritage pubs regularly being strong sellers and interest groups around the country supporting the heritage pubs in their region. The introduction of this award is a further opportunity to promote the best of our pubs, enhance their trade and generate publicity for CAMRA.

All the interiors in the pub heritage listings are, by definition, rare, constituting only around 2% of all the UK’s pubs. These pubs command special attention and we must do all we can to promote and preserve them. The Heritage Award is part of this effort.

The award is open to all pubs on our National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, whatever their grade: Three Star, Two Star or One Star. Success criteria are not limited to what’s happened to the pub’s interior. Pubs can also win the award through the efforts of its management to run the pub enthusiastically, care for its heritage and make a positive contribution to the local community.

Eligibility and Success Criteria

Any pub or pub operator which has carried out activity leading to the reinvigoration of a pub for the benefit of the business and / or the community will be eligible, provided that the benefits were experienced during the year ending 1 November 2024 (so the actions could have been taken in the preceding year or earlier).

The judges will consider, for example, heritage pubs that have:

  • Reopened after a protracted period of closure
  • Been restored to (their former) glory
  • Been shown loving care and attention to detail in refurbishment or restoration
  • Instigated community initiatives, festivals or events
  • Introduced services of benefit to the community, such as a shop or post office
  • Been reenergised by becoming a real ale haven.

The judges will be looking for some evidence that the pub has demonstrated an ability to attract new or more customers.
