If you wanted a picture gallery of the winners for every category in the Great British Pub Awards 2026, you’re in luck.

The glittering event that took place at the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds this week (Wednesday 23 September) was an amazing night out for all and plenty of fun was had.

The Morning Advertiser editor Ed Bedington fronted the spectacular event with comedienne Suzi Ruffell providing laughs along with co-hosting duties.

Of course, there have to be losers on the night – and to even be in the finals is an amazing achievement – however, there must be winners too and we have pictures of every pub that took home one of the 16 category awards plus the overall Great British Pub of the Year honour.
