RIBA Stirling Prize 2026
The 30th anniversary RIBA Stirling Prize ceremony at Old Billingsgate in London, where the UK’s best new building of the year is announced
Location: Old Billingsgate, London
Date: 15 October 2026
The RIBA Stirling Prize 2026 takes place on 15 October 2026 at Old Billingsgate on the Thames in the City of London. The evening marks the 30th anniversary of the prize, awarded each year by the Royal Institute of British Architects to the building judged to have made the greatest contribution to British architecture in the past year.
Six projects are on this year’s shortlist. They are A house at Fairmead in Epping Forest by Sergison Bates, BEAM in Hertfordshire by Bennetts Associates, Lion Green Road in Coulsdon by Mary Duggan Architects with RUFF Architects, Paddington Square in London by Renzo Piano Building Workshop with Adamson Associates, Pembroke, Mill Lane in Cambridge by Haworth Tompkins, and River Wing at Clare College, Cambridge by Witherford Watson Mann Architects. The night will also see the inaugural RIBA Conservation Award, the RIBA International Prize and a public vote for the favourite Stirling Prize winner of the past three decades.
Dining tickets, mezzanine tickets and student tickets are available through the RIBA. For practices across the UK, the ceremony remains the most closely watched night in the architecture calendar, and this anniversary edition offers a chance to look back over thirty years of British buildings as well as forward to the next.
