GOLD
The Sandringham Estate has achieved the highest rating from VisitEngland in its ‘Visitor Attraction Accolades for 2023-2024′.
The Estate attained ‘Gold’ after its Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme assessment, which is awarded to places that go the extra mile and epitomise excellence.
Now in its tenth year, VisitEngland’s Visitor Attraction Accolades are available to participants of the VisitEngland Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme. A range of tourism establishments are eligible including historic houses, gardens, country parks, farm attractions, galleries, museums, churches and cathedrals.
Supported by a network of assessors, the scheme advises attractions on improving and promoting the quality, accessibility and sustainability of their sites, whilst recognising outstanding offerings in categories including Welcome, Best Told Story, Quality Food & Drink, Hidden Gem and Gold.
Andrew Stokes, Director of VisitEngland, said: “These accolades highlight the wonderful visitor experiences provided by English attractions, from the warmest of welcomes to amazing food and drink, from great storytelling to outstanding customer service.
“Our tourism businesses are the bedrock of our industry and it is wonderful to highlight and celebrate the fantastic service and experiences they give visitors, time-after-time. From museums, gardens and nature reserves to farm attractions, estates and theme parks, these attractions go out of their way to make visits memorable.”
