HAPPA Hoof & Hearts Awards 2026

Hoof & Hearts Awards 2026

Be part of something truly special this year as we proudly present the HAPPA Hoof & Hearts Awards 2026, a brand-new, first-of-its-kind celebration across the North of England.
All nominees, supporters and friends will be able to join the HAPPA team on Saturday 26th September at the Charity’s Awards & Gala event to be held at Mercure Dunkenhalgh Spa & Hotel.

Celebrating the Animals and People Who Change Lives.

This unforgettable event shines a light on the extraordinary animals, individuals and organisations who go above and beyond to make a difference in animal welfare.

This event will celebrate pet owners, animal lovers, equestrian communities, and rescue establishments in a night of glitz and glam away from the hard graft of animal care.

HAPPA are calling on local people to get involved and nominate that special person, team or animal and to be part of something unique, the first ever animal awards in the northwest, celebrating the very best across the north of England.
