The Drinks Trust is delighted to announce its annual Gala, set to take place on Monday 6th October 2025 at the iconic Claridge’s, London. This prestigious event invites guests from across the drinks industry to come together in one of London’s most iconic venues for a night of celebration and purpose.
With only 240 guests set to attend, opportunities for table reservations and sponsorships are extremely limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. This year, The Drinks Trust Gala also offers an exclusive chance to reserve premium tables, each hosting a leading industry buyer, providing unparalleled networking potential. Companies are strongly encouraged to secure their places without delay to avoid missing out on this prestigious event.
The evening will begin with a sophisticated champagne reception, where guests can connect with key industry figures, including influential leaders, industry buyers, brand ambassadors, and professionals passionate about their industry. Following the reception, attendees will indulge in a sumptuous three-course meal crafted by Claridge’s esteemed chefs. Throughout the evening, guests will be invited to take part in engaging fundraising activities, learn more about The Drinks Trust’s impactful work, and dance the night away until carriages arrive.
The Drinks Trust is proud to once again partner with Hillebrand Gori as the Headline Sponsor of the Gala. Their continued generosity and commitment to the drinks industry plays a vital role in bringing this prestigious event to life, and in enabling The Drinks Trust to deliver meaningful support to those in our community who need it most.
Proceeds from the evening will directly contribute to The Drinks Trust’s mission to deliver support services to thousands of industry professionals across the UK, by providing financial assistance, nurturing their well-being and championing the growth of a skilled and engaged workforce.
Nicky Burston, CEO of The Drinks Trust, expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming event, saying: “We are delighted to bring back the much-loved gala format, and I am especially thrilled that this will be at such a prestigious venue as Claridges. This night will be a rare opportunity to network with top industry leaders and buyers in an exclusive and intimate setting, to raise money together and have a great deal of fun in the process!”
