Ahuge and warm welcome to the Bath Life Awards 2025, which tonight celebrates three fantastic factors: not only are we gathered here to honour the successful shining lights of our city, but this year also marks the 20th anniversary of the Bath Life Awards! That’s an incredible two decades of proudly being a part of recognising and giving thanks to Bath’s remarkable businesses, wonderful organisations, inspiring entrepreneurs, and outstanding individuals.
And, as if that wasn’t enough, we are here at an impressive and stunning new venue, Bath Forum. What an extraordinary place to host this year’s event – we simply couldn’t think of better. Having been part of the Bath entertainment scene for an astonishing 91 years, the Forum has played host to the good, the great and the glorious over the years, and now to all of us! It really is the perfect setting for this wonderful night as we gather to applaud all the founders, leaders, innovators, and hardworking individuals who make Bath such a unique place to live, work, and play.
To all our returning guests, you’ll know that tonight is as much about cheering the finalists and winners as it is about reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and, of course, enjoying some top dining experiences from Strawberry Fields. And for our first time cohorts – take it all in and enjoy the ride! Whether you’re here as an award nominee, sponsor, judge, or a relaxed Plus One, you’re in for an unforgettable evening. There’s something magical about being surrounded by so many passionate, talented people who believe in and love this city.
I also want to take this moment to extend a heartfelt thank you from myself and the whole Bath Life team. We are so fortunate to share your stories and celebrate your successes, both in our beautiful magazine and across our social media platforms. Your contributions make our jobs truly joyous, and without you, we couldn’t shine a positive light on the very heart of Bath.
So, come and say hello tonight, or find us hitting the dancefloor at the Sub 13 aftershow —and together we can raise a glass or two to the wonderful Bath community and to the next 20 years.
Don’t forget to share your highlights on social media, tagging @BathLifeAwards @BathLifeMag #BathLifeAwards and let’s make this 20th anniversary celebration one to remember!
