skill + dedication + big dreams
= fuel for the future

The Hazels — The UK Space Skills Awards celebrates the diversity of skills, roles, people, and practices within the UK space industry.

The UK Space Industry needs you

The UK Space sector is growing, but the talent pipeline isn’t. We must act now.

With fierce competition for talent from global employers and other high-tech industries, how do we attract skilled people and shift perceptions about careers in space?

It starts with celebration

The Hazels is a bold new event spotlighting the people, roles, skills, and innovation driving the UK space industry. From STEM to creative disciplines, The Hazels recognises unsung heroes through our unique CREATES© framework, showcasing what’s possible when talent meets opportunity.

Join us in June 2026 for an unforgettable evening of recognition, celebration, and

performance, from world class entertainment

But we can’t do it without you

We’re building this with the industry, for the industry. Become a sponsor or partner. Let’s shape the future of UK Space together.

Get involved

The Hazels inspiring new dreams and possibilities.
