Sponsored by Changing Places’ British provider, Clos-o-Mat, the Trophy is the most prestigious award available for public assisted accessible facilities.

Blackpool’s Velvet Coaster, which has also been named the UK’s largest public house, was awarded the Trophy for 2015, along with the best pub & bar toilet award in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

Over 92% of Wetherspoon’s pubs achieved a platinum rating upon entering the Awards, reflecting its commitment to providing quality toilets and washrooms.
