The Maven Awards are back…
Back for the 4th year running on Thursday 26th February 2027 are the much loved, much coveted Maven Awards! Celebrating Winchester’s finest female entrepreneurial talent. Hosted by Maven at The Nutshell these awards are open to all Winchester Women in Business (not just Mavens!)
Hi, I’m Natalie, Founder of Maven Coworking in Winchester and Creator of the Maven Awards! I feel passionately that there is a big gap in celebrating the inspirational wealth of female entrepreneurial talent that we have here in this wonderful city.
So say hello to ‘The Mavens’ a night dedicated towards red carpet style, uplifting entertainment and shining a light on the finest Winchester women in business.
Align your brand with something special…
If you're a local business looking to align with something truly special, sponsoring a Maven Award is your opportunity to be part of this celebration.
Your sponsorship isn't just about brand visibility - it's about supporting the women who are shaping Winchester's business landscape.
Whether you sponsor an award category or one of our entertainment acts, you'll be directly investing in a night that empowers, inspires, and uplifts our community.
And the best part? Sponsoring the Maven Awards is affordable and achievable for businesses of all sizes. We believe that supporting female entrepreneurship shouldn't be reserved for the big names - which is why we've created sponsorship packages that work for like-minded local businesses who want to make a real impact. From award category sponsors to entertainment act sponsors, there's an option that fits your budget and amplifies your brand visibility to an engaged community of Winchester women in business.
Together, we create something magic ✨
