The National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) has announced its continued support from NCASS (The Nationwide Caterers Association) and Lacey’s Solicitors, for its flagship annual Awards and Convention. Both organisations have once again pledged their support for the 2025 event, and the events businesses and individuals who will be recognised this year.

The move represents further endorsement for the NOEA Convention & Awards, taking place later in November this year, with more recognised champions within the UK events sector, showing their support. Both NCASS and Lacey’s Solicitors will sponsor individual categories, underlining their commitment to recognising and supporting the people, creativity, and resilience that define the outdoor events industry.

NCASS will continue to sponsor the Caterer of the Year Award, with Rukhsana Bentley, Head of Marketing at NCASS, commenting: “The NOEA Awards are such a lovely moment in the industry’s calendar – an opportunity to celebrate the innovation, passion, and sheer hard work that powers outdoor events across the country. At NCASS, we’re proud to be supporting the many businesses who elevate events through the quality of their food, branding and hospitality, and we’re delighted to be once again standing alongside NOEA in recognising the incredible individuals and organisations who make it all happen.”

Meanwhile, Brenden Herbert, Partner at Lacey’s Solicitors, who will be sponsoring the Event Organiser of the Year category, added: “Outdoor events represent one of the most dynamic and inspiring areas of the UK economy. From licensing to legal compliance, we’ve worked with event professionals across the board, and we know the challenges they face. By sponsoring the NOEA Awards, we’re shining a light on excellence – and showing our ongoing belief in the industry’s future. We’re proud to be part of it.”

The NOEA Awards & Convention is due to take place 26th & 27th November 2025 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Bath and The Roman Baths and Pump Rooms.
