Over 200 events throughout England and Wales. The website is searchable on a regional and daily basis so you can find your nearest event.
Just one of the events is free entry to National Trust properties on 20/21st March; Not all events are free.
This coming week is the week we should celebrate tourism. Throughout England & Wales (Scotland had theirs this week) it is British Tourism Week. The National Trust throws opens its properties for free entry next weekend and events are staged across the two countries. Events like the illumination of Hadrian’s Wall and any of over hundreds of others are what should be attracting our attention. (www.britishtourismweek.com) But all the media seem to be concentrating on is BA with the tabloids having great fun with their headlines. Little mention will be made of tourism being worth £114 billion to the UK or that it is our fifth largest industry
