We’re looking forward to meeting up with PDA members, Associate Partners, and guests for a night of fun, networking, and celebration at our annual networking and gala dinner event!
Taking place on Saturday 4 October at the Chesford Grange Hotel in Warwick, the evening will commence with a Champagne reception followed by a sumptuous formal dinner.
After dinner we will present the Apprentice Paperhanger of the Year Awards and celebrate the work of the talented apprentices who make the finals. Then it’s time to enjoy the live entertainment and hit the dance floor.
The hotel is centrally located near Kenilworth, where first-class hospitality is top of the menu whether you favour the heritage charm of the Tudor-style Manor House, or the modern comforts of the contemporary wing – all set amongst the serenity of the quaint countryside and nearby River Avon.
Please note – If booking has been confirmed, cancellations after 1 September 2025 or non-attendance will be charged in full.

Everyone was so welcoming—we laughed, we danced, we celebrated. It was a proper knees-up, and I didn’t want it to end. A huge thank you to the PDA for hosting such an unforgettable night. I’ll be back next year, no question. Full review here >
Thank you for hosting such a wonderful evening on Saturday, which Jo and I thoroughly enjoyed. I know how much hard work goes into planning such events, and you certainly nailed it! Thank you also for allowing me the time to congratulate Dior Regan on her recent achievements at WorldSkills 2024. I think it was clear how much this meant to me. I hope to be in attendance next year.
Thanks from everyone at Tighes for yet another fabulous event. There were several complaints from our party about aching feet next morning from all the dancing that went on!! Lol It was a shame I left my dancing shoes at home or else I might have been one of them! Thanks to the PDA team for all their efforts to make the Association such a success.
Thank you for the photo, we had a great night—one of the best dinners and loved our time in Liverpool.
Love the photo, it’s really good and thank you for sending it to us. We had a brilliant evening, in fact we had a brilliant long weekend. We really enjoyed it and the weather was kind to us as well.
We had an amazing weekend in Liverpool, from the pre-gala dinner through to the main event! It was wonderful meeting so many lovely new people and reconnecting with John. A huge thank you to everyone for organising such a fantastic event – we truly appreciate it. We also made the most of our time in Liverpool 😊, and I even got to visit the stadium!
