15 October 2026, Clapham Grand, London
DOORS OPEN 18:00
For 2026, the Creative Retail Awards are heading to The Clapham Grand, bringing the industry’s biggest night to one of London’s most distinctive and historic entertainment venues.
First opened in 1900 as the New Grand Theatre of Varieties, The Clapham Grand has been entertaining London audiences for more than 125 years. One of the capital’s surviving Victorian music halls, its history has taken it from music hall and variety performances to cinema, live music and major events, with performers including Charlie Chaplin, Oasis and Muse passing through its doors.
Today, its spectacular interior, balconies, dramatic architecture and unmistakable character make it an ideal setting for the Creative Retail Awards — an event built around originality, experience and visual impact.
There is a natural connection. Great retail environments do more than simply look good; they create atmosphere, tell stories, surprise audiences and leave lasting impressions. The Clapham Grand has been doing exactly that for generations.
On 15 October 2026, the venue will welcome leading retailers, brands, designers, agencies, suppliers and creative talent from across the industry for an evening of awards, entertainment, networking and celebration.
A venue with more than a century of spectacle behind it.
A night celebrating the creativity shaping retail today.
