Everyone Welcome
Everyone is welcome to our award winning boatyard, and a huge thank you to all we have already welcomed to help us achieve this accolade.
It was a very exciting night when we took the whole team in a taxi to the East of England tourism awards, held this year at IWM Duxford Museum. ( https://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-duxford). Arriving after dark to a places lit up in a rainbow of colours across the hanger with a wonderful voice singing swing, which was such a suitable choice for the history the aircraft hold.
We were all feeling really thrilled to be part of an event that recognises the myriad of talent in tourism across the counties of the East of England (Cambridgeshire, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk). We all enjoyed the evening and met many lovely people who work across the industry. We felt honoured to be finalists in Self Catering, Customer Excellence and Small Visitor Attraction. We received highly commended for Customer Excellence, and won Small Visitor Attraction.
After being here for 8 years and working hard to make our business provide the service and welcome to everyone, it was truly emotional to win and have our slice of paradise recognised in such a way.
There are too many wonderful businesses to tell you about, but if you want to know who the others are then take a look here https://www.tourismawards.co.uk/live/en/page/home.
We are now getting really excited as the beginning of the season will soon be upon us, we get to meet new faces and catch up with more familiar ones. Stories will be made, shared and told, local food will be savoured and delighted upon and we will be bringing the river to life in many exciting ways.
New in the summer of ‘22 with be guided twilight tours on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and there will also be the introduction of Wild Cat Island, the new floating pod. Many more ways to ensure everyone is welcome and everyone brings the river to life.
Oh, by the way, if you want to see the award, just ask, we are more than happy to have the opportunity to show it off.
