The date for the North East Tourism Awards has been announced during 2023's English Tourism Week.
The 20th anniversary of the awards, which returned to the Newcastle's Civic Centre for the first time since the Covid pandemic in 2022, will take place on March 23 in the same venue as part of English Tourism Week, which runs from March 17 - 26. More than 160 businesses entered the awards and the shortlist was announced in September, with well-known attractions such as Life Science Centre, Beamish Museum and the Alnwick Garden up for an award.
However, there are several businesses who aren't yet household names in the North East shortlisted too, including The Bosk in Breamish Valley; Schoolhouse Fenwick in Berwick, and Stephenson Steam Railway in North Tyneside. There are sixteen categories at the ceremony including experience of the year, unsung hero and large and small hotels of the year.
