Live to your Living Room has been shortlisted for the Fantastic for Families Awards 2026.
Presented by Family Arts Campaign and funded by Arts Council England, the awards recognise the organisations, artists, and cultural venues making a remarkable difference to families and older people through the arts.
We join 25 other organisations based around the UK across three award categories: Best Family Arts Activity, Best Age-Friendly Outreach, and Audience Impact & Innovation. The overall shortlist is presented as 26 Stories of Family Arts: a collection of inspiring tales that reveal the people, ideas and achievements behind this year’s shortlisted activities and initiatives.
Live to your Living Room has been nominated in the Audience Impact & Innovation award. This award celebrates creative organisations demonstrating innovation, adaptability and a strong commitment to reaching families in need and making a meaningful difference to their lives.
Cat McGill, Creative Director and Co-founder of Live to your Living Room, said: “We signed up for the Family Arts Campaign’s Age-Friendly Standards earlier this year to show that we are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and positive experience for everyone.
“Not everyone can attend gigs in-person. They may not live close to a venue, may have a disability or long-term health condition, or may have caring responsibilities. Our livestreaming services allow everyone to enjoy their favourite artists in the comfort and safety of their own home.
“We’re so happy to have been shortlisted for this significant award, alongside so many other amazing organisations that do so much for people that are experiencing challenging circumstances.”
Anna Dever, Executive Director, Family Arts Campaign, said: “We are delighted to announce the 2026 Fantastic for Families Award nominees. The commitment to creating accessible, imaginative and joyful experiences is clear in the work of every shortlisted organisation.
“The nominees are a wonderful testament to the power of arts and culture to bring communities together, and to the passion, creativity and dedication of the people who make these experiences possible.”
The winners of the Fantastic for Families Awards 2026 will be announced at an online awards ceremony on Tuesday 15 December from 6.30pm.
