Milton Keynes and BUCKS Black Excellence Awards

The Milton Keynes and Bucks Black Excellence Awards returns on Friday, 12th December 2025, for an evening of celebration, inspiration, and empowerment — honouring outstanding individuals and organisations of Black heritage who have made exceptional contributions to business, culture, education, leadership, and community life across the region.

Hosted at the elegant DoubleTree by Hilton, Milton Keynes, this prestigious black-tie event promises to be one of the most anticipated highlights of the regional calendar, bringing together leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, and changemakers for an unforgettable night of recognition and entertainment.

The awards were created to celebrate excellence and acknowledge the remarkable achievements of individuals who continue to uplift and transform communities through their work and leadership. From local heroes to innovative business owners and emerging creatives, the awards shine a light on those making a positive impact across Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire.

A Night of Celebration and Connection

Guests can expect an evening filled with glamour, cultural pride, and inspiration. The event begins with a red-carpet reception where attendees will have the opportunity to network with nominees, dignitaries, and special guests over drinks and live background music.

The awards ceremony itself will showcase moving stories of triumph, resilience, and innovation — honouring individuals and organisations that embody excellence in fields such as Business & Entrepreneurship, Community Leadership, Education, Arts & Culture, Health & Wellbeing, and Youth Achievement. Each award represents a story of dedication, perseverance, and positive change.

Adding to the excitement, the evening will feature live performances from talented musicians, dancers, and spoken word artists celebrating the richness of African and Caribbean heritage. The event will be hosted by dynamic presenters who will keep the energy high and the audience engaged throughout the night.
