Celebrating English Tourism Week in West Northamptonshire

People are being encouraged to explore some of West Northamptonshire’s fabulous attractions during English Tourism Week (and all year round).

Running through to this Sunday, 27 March, the national campaign aims to celebrate England’s vibrant, exciting tourism sector.

The theme for this year’s English Tourism Week is ‘You’re Welcome’, and we want to encourage visitors and residents alike to experience all West Northamptonshire it has to offer.

From historic homes and landmarks, to parks and gardens, museums, galleries and theatres, and award-winning restaurants, this area offers a fantastic variety of attractions for everyone to explore.

We are showcasing a selection of those attractions on our social media channels this week, and would also urge you to visit our Culture and Tourism pages for a host of ideas for great days out.

The aim of English Tourism Week is to send a message that our tourism industry is ready to welcome visitors and provide an outstanding experience.

That is certainly true of West Northamptonshire, so we want to take this opportunity to promote this our area as a wonderful place to stay and visit, and I would encourage people to come and explore what we have to offer. This area is a hidden gem of a staycation destination in the country and you’re welcome here all year round. It’s important to always think local and support local businesses.Cllr Adam Brown, Deputy Leader and Cabinet member for Housing, Culture and Leisure
