British Business Awards Shortlist includes the Tattoo
The Tattoo makes shortlist for coveted British Business Awards, in the SME of the Year category.
For a second year running, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has made the shortlist alongside seven other businesses. With the winner to be announced at the EICC ceremony on Thursday 30 April 2026.
More than 400 companies entered the awards this year, with those selected for the shortlist independently evaluated across five core pillars: business performance, innovation, workforce and culture, customer impact, and contribution to society and the wider economy.
The success of our 2025 Show, The Heroes Who Made Us, grew our revenue, allowed us to rebuild reserves, invest in innovation, and return to our ambition of donating £1 million annually to charity. In 2025 we exceeded this following the 75th anniversary Show, allowing us to donate a record £1.5 million to 15 Charity partners.
We are proud that our ongoing commitment to enhancing and growing The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has been recognised in this way, and we look forward to attending the Awards with special guests Rob Brydon, Elaine C Smith, Bob Geldof and George Clooney.
