Tickets are now on sale for the Pet Industry Federation (PIF) Awards 2026, with guests also able to secure discounted accommodation at the event venue.
The prestigious black-tie awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 5 November 2026 at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Stoke-on-Trent, bringing together businesses and professionals from across the pet industry for an evening of celebration, recognition and networking.
The event begins at 5.30pm and includes a complimentary drinks reception, courtesy of Durham Animal Feeds, followed by a three-course dinner with wine, the presentation of the 2026 PIF Awards, live entertainment, a band and disco.
Tickets are open to everyone working within the pet industry, whether or not they have entered an award. Individual places and tables of ten are available, with preferential ticket rates for PIF members and finalists.
Discounted rooms can also now be booked at the DoubleTree by Hilton. Guests are encouraged to reserve their accommodation early, as rooms at the venue are expected to be in high demand.
Nigel Baker, CEO of the Pet Industry Federation, said: ‘The PIF Awards are always a very special occasion, bringing together people from every part of the pet industry to celebrate outstanding businesses, talented individuals and the achievements of our sector.
‘Tickets have sold out in recent years, so we would strongly encourage guests to book their places and hotel rooms early. You do not need to be an entrant or finalist to attend; the evening is open to the whole pet industry and offers a fantastic opportunity to celebrate with colleagues, customers and friends.’
Businesses and individuals wishing to be considered for a PIF Award have until Monday 7 September 2026 to submit their entries. Entry is completely free and open to PIF members and non-members, as well as international pet businesses trading within the UK.
The PIF Awards 2026 are held in association with Platinum Sponsor, Natures Menu, with the support of Headline Sponsors: Cliverton, The Animal People Recruitment Company, Mackle Petfoods and Rosewood Pet Products.
