Guide team at Stonehenge nominated for national award
They're up for the Tourism Superstar prize
The team of guides at Stonehenge that help to arrange early morning and late evening special visits to Stonehenge have been nominated for a national award.
They've been put forward for a Tourism Superstar prize, organised by VisitEngland.
The awards are aimed at recognising the dedication and passion of those working in the tourism industry.
We can even vote for the Stone Circle Experience Hosts online |newtab), to help make sure the prize comes to South Wiltshire.
Scott Ashman, English Heritage Head of Historic Properties for Stonehenge said:
“For 10 months of the year, visitors can book a visit to go into the stone circle, in the mornings before Stonehenge opens to the public and in the evenings after it closes, accompanied by an English Heritage Host. The hosts welcome people as early as 5am in the summer months, and wow visitors from around the world with their extraordinary knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion.
"Their commitment to making sure everyone who visits the monument has the experience of a lifetime is why we think they are Tourism Superstars, and we would love to see people vote for them!”
Fiona Errington from Visit Wiltshire said:
“To make the shortlist is a great achievement, especially as a team, as it highlights the high standard of service and enthusiasm, they give to visitors to ensure they have the best possible experience they can have while visiting one of Wiltshire’s top iconic sites. The inner access tour is unique and unforgettable as is the team that delivers the experience."
The Tourism Superstar winners will be announced at the end of March, during English Tourism Week 2023.
