The Kingston Group Joins Stone Circle Music Events to Deliver an Enhanced Wiltshire Music Awards 2026

The Kingston Group is proud to announce its partnership with Stone Circle Music Events as co-organiser of the Wiltshire Music Awards 2026, marking an exciting new chapter for one of the county’s most important celebrations of live music and grassroots talent.

Stone Circle Music Events, backed by its Galway, Ireland office, has been confirmed as the official sponsor and organiser, bringing extensive expertise in large-scale event production across the South West. The Kingston Group will join the partnership, contributing its deep local knowledge, hospitality infrastructure, and event management experience across Wiltshire.

Together, the partnership will build on the success of the 2025 Awards and deliver a major upgrade to the 2026 ceremony. Attendees can expect enhanced audio-visual production, large-format screens, professional camera coverage, an experienced compère, and a headline star performance. A county-wide marketing campaign will also be launched to engage music fans, artists, venues, and communities across Wiltshire.

In keeping with the Awards’ tradition of rotating venues, the 2026 ceremony will take place at The White Horse View, located beneath the iconic Westbury White Horse. The venue was recently acquired by The Kingston Group, which now forms part of its expanding hospitality and events portfolio across Wiltshire. White Horse View will host up to 400 guests seated at tables, offering an elevated and immersive awards experience.

Nominations will open on 1st May 2026 and close on 1st June 2026, with the Awards Ceremony scheduled for Saturday 26th September 2026.

As preparations begin, the organisers are also inviting volunteers to help deliver the county’s biggest celebration of live music and grassroots talent. Individuals with event experience—or simply a passion for local music and community—are encouraged to get involved and help make the 2026 Awards the most inclusive and inspiring yet.

Tickets will be available soon – keep an eye out and join us for an incredible night celebrating the very best of Wiltshire’s music scene.
