Double Awards Success for Beamish
Beamish achieved a double awards success at the 2007 North East England Tourism Awards at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland. Not only was the museum named as Visitor Attraction of the Year, but was also awarded silver in the Best Family Experience category. This annual Awards ceremony, spearheaded by One NorthEast, celebrates excellence in tourism practice and recognises outstanding contributions within the industry.
Winning the regional Visitor Attraction of the Year award means that Beamish will now go forward to the national 2008 ‘tourism Oscars', the Enjoy England Awards for Excellence.
Accepting the beautifully crafted Sunderland glass flame on behalf of Beamish, Craig Million, Marketing Manager, said “We're very proud to receive both of these awards, they are recognition of the great Beamish experience and of the dedicated and enthusiastic team of staff who bring the museum to life. We hope to achieve similar success in the national awards.”
