Looking for Ideas During British Tourism Week?

British Tourism Week aims to get more people enjoying days out and holiday experiences throughout this country.

With the support of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, we want to raise the profile of an £114 billion industry - the nation's fifth biggest - and draw attention to its critical importance to local jobs and livelihoods.

Every day, more of us are enjoying the appeals of heritage sites and historic buildings, exploring our stunning countryside and cinematic landscapes or taking a break in contemporary cities. Becoming ever more familiar with world-renowned events from Wimbledon to Ascot, we are also rediscovering the eccentricities - from worm-charming to sedan-racing, cheese-rolling and bog-snorkelling - and quintessentially British, cultural qualities that make us unique. Let British Tourism Week's calendar of events inspire you or visit one of the websites below.

Ask your local travel agent for advice of where to go and where to stay, while Tourist Information Centres also possess a wealth of in-depth, local knowledge and can suggest a host of ideas, attractions and accommodation throughout England.
