Visit Shropshire is holding a new event in conjunction with the ‘Tourism in Shropshire’ launch to encourage the county’s tourism and hospitality businesses to utilise the wealth of services available locally. Its first event is taking place at The Engine House in Highley on November 12th in partnership with Shropshire Festivals.
Suppliers and service-based businesses will be exhibiting, ready to spark connections and share opportunities with attendees from visitor attractions, hotels, venues, restaurants, and events from across the county.
What to expect:
This free-to-attend event will bring together suppliers and service providers from across the county, all ready to showcase how they can support Shropshire’s thriving tourism industry.
Alongside the exhibitor stands, visitors can enjoy:
· Workshops led by Reech and Shropshire Council, offering practical advice
· Networking opportunities with fellow businesses
· Live entertainment, including live music from The Bluebird Belles
· Light refreshments
· Locomotives in The Engine House
The event is being delivered in partnership with Shropshire Festivals, who are adding their trademark creativity and relaxed atmosphere.
Arrive in style
Attendees are invited to park at Severn Valley Railway’s Bridgnorth Station and take a specially commissioned 20 minute free steam train ride to the venue at the visitor centre at Highley Station, making arrival part of the day itself.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your chosen train departure.
Why attend?
Tourism in Shropshire is a central hub for our tourism businesses to connect, drive Shropshire’s thriving tourism sector forward, and support our visitor economy. The key objective of our first business to business event is to connect Shropshire’s tourism businesses with the fantastic service-based businesses on our doorstep, giving them the best value, access to quality services, and supporting our local economy.
Tourism is set to become the county’s largest employer in the coming years, so let’s grow the sector in the strongest way possible, connecting with the best businesses on our doorstep.
