Theme Park Network has announced that TAG Live® will be returning as the official production partner for the UK Theme Park Awards 2026.
The awards, which celebrate excellence across the UK theme park industry, will take place on 10 September 2026, recognising outstanding achievement across both major operators and much-loved independent attractions.
TAG Live® returns as the production partner following a highly successful awards ceremony at Wicksteed Park last year, building on the event’s continued growth after ceremonies hosted at Drayton Manor (2022), Chessington World of Adventures (2023) and Thorpe Park (2024).
A leading name in live entertainment production, TAG Live® brings their extensive experience in delivering large-scale events, broadcasts and live experiences across the attractions, leisure and family entertainment sectors. Once again, the company will oversee production of the ceremony and its accompanying live stream, enabling industry professionals, partners and the wider public nationwide to take part.
Andy Mills-Brown, Founder & CEO of TAG Live®, said:
“We’re delighted to be returning as the production partner for the UK Theme Park Awards 2026. The UK theme park sector continues to raise the bar year on year, and it’s a privilege to help celebrate the creativity, innovation and people behind it.
TAG Live® operates at the heart of live family entertainment across the UK, and we’re proud to play a role in bringing the industry together through an event that reflects its energy, ambition and diversity. We’re looking forward to delivering an experience that resonates with both the live audience and viewers at home.”
Further details, including the venue, presenter line-up and additional event information, will be announced in due course.
As in previous years, the public will be invited to vote for their favourite theme parks across a range of national award categories recognising excellence in rides and attractions, shows and events. The awards are organised by Theme Park Network, publisher of ThemeParks-UK, the independent consumer guide to UK theme parks.
Ahead of the big public vote opening later this year, a shortlist will be compiled using public nominations alongside input from an expert judging panel, ensuring a balanced and industry-informed selection process.
