The finalists were selected by a board of tourism industry judges. The Ashton in Lancaster has been shortlisted in the Bed and Breakfast category. Blackpool Illuminations is up for Tourism Event of the Year. Manchester’s Lowry Hotel is a finalist in the Large Hotel category whilst Imperial War Museum North is up for the Large Visitor Attraction accolade. Gilpin Lodge in Windermere is a finalist in the Small Hotel category, Low Sizergh Farm Shop in Kendal has been shortlisted for the Taste of England Award and Christina Dixion from Jury’s Inn in Liverpool is up for Outstanding Customer Service.
All of the shortlisted nominees have already won at the England’s Northwest Tourism Awards organised by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and will now be pitted against their counterparts from across England at the Awards Ceremony in Brighton on St George’s Day (April 23rd).
