2025 Awards

NFAN’s annual awards recognise the best in the industry and celebrate the brilliant work of our members. The eight categories cover events, retail, sustainability, food and drink and the overall large and small farm attraction of the year. 

Unique to NFAN members, the awards are free to enter. Winning is a great way to boost your business profile with national and regional PR as well as shouting about your brilliant team and attraction.  

We are thrilled to reveal that Scottish comedian Jim Smith will be the presenter for the 2025 NFAN Awards. Winners will be revealed on Wednesday, 29th January 2025, at the NFAN Awards Gala Dinner at Winter Gardens, Blackpool, as we celebrate the very best in the industry.
