Doctor Who Time Fracture Wins Best Licensed Live Event 2022
There's a new Doctor Who coming. But 2022 also had another major Doctor Who event that has just been recognised. The Licensing Awards 2022 of Great Britain took place last week at The Grosvenor House Hotel for the first time in three years, in person. The awards recognise and reward work within the licensing sector over the last year. Held in The Great Room at Grosvenor House, the event was attended by around 425 licensors, licensees and retailers and covers all aspects of the UK licensing industry. Retailer Awards – for retailers of licensed merchandise, Product Awards – for ranges of licensed products, Property Awards – for specific licensed properties including the Best Licensed Retail Marketing Initiative, the Best Licensed Promotions Campaign Award – for a specific licensed promotion, and a special award for Honorary Achievement. The awards are free to enter, and all entries are made digitally. And I was very happy that one entrant, for whom I had a dog in the race, won.
Because Best Licensed Live Event was won by Immersive Everywhere for their Doctor Who: Time Fracture Immersive Event. I have written about the event a couple of times on Bleeding Cool, and I ended up going six times in the end. I would happily have gone again, but the show closed early. There are rumours that it will be set up again, possibly in Manchester rather than London, but those who want to be the first to know are recommended to sign up here. It beat out the other finalists below:
- DC Universe Immersive Restaurant Experience at The Monarch Theatre from Wonderland Restaurants
- The Gruffalo Discovery Land at Twycross Zoo from Twycross Zoo
- Monopoly Lifesized Immersive Experience from Gamepath
- Peppa Pig's Best Day Ever Theatrical Show from Fierylight
