Heritage Crafts – Trainer of the Year Award
18 March 2026
Deadline: August 21, 2026
Heritage Crafts are thrilled to announce that nominations are now OPEN for the Trainer of the Year Award 2026.
One of Heritage Crafts’ key aims is to ensure that traditional crafts skills of the highest standard are passed from one generation to the next. The enthusiasm, knowledge and experience of key individuals can really influence the number and quality of skilled craftspeople in the UK. Broadly classified as ‘trainer’, the award winner could be anything from a teacher, tutor, workshop leader, master or simply a craftsperson who offers one-to-one advice. The trainer might give anything from taster sessions for beginners to masterclasses for professionals.
The winner will receive a £1,000 cash prize and will be celebrated at a high-profile Winners’ Reception in November 2026.
