2 months ago
The Guide Liverpool Heroes will celebrate the very best of Liverpool City Region, awarding charity, business and entertainment champions on Friday 21 November 2025 at Titanic Hotel Liverpool – and you can nominate your local hero now.
And not only that, we can now also announce that The Guide Liverpool Heroes will be brought to you by Liverpool Cruise Port, in partnership with San Carlo. You can nominate your local hero here.
The Guide Liverpool wants to shout out about the incredible people who make our city the amazing one it is – and that’s why we’re launching our first ever awards ceremony to praise and celebrate all those who deserve it most.
This November we’ll be hosting The Guide Liverpool Heroes brought to you by Liverpool Cruise Port at a spectacular event at the Rum Warehouse at the Titanic Hotel.
And it will be a chance for us – and you – to honour the thousands of people like those we meet and feature every year who deserve to be recognised for the extraordinary things they do.
We have now released a list of categories that you can vote for, from fundraisers who push themselves to the limits, local children who have shown incredible courage and strength, and charities and members of the emergency services who go above and beyond for us.
