About Us

The Lewisham Awards

Named after Richard Lewisham who was a pioneer of the Auckland hospitality scene, The Lewisham Awards were established in 2002 with the main objective to encourage excellence in the city’s hospitality community. With this in mind, the best in the business are nominated and honoured by their peers once a year followed by an after party to celebrate this success.

2024 will be the 22nd time that the Lewisham Hospitality awards have been held. Celebrate 22 years of Auckland Hospitality at our next event.
Event of the year date: Sunday, 2nd June 2024. Venue and theme to be confirmed.
