Tourism & Hospitality Awards Finalists revealed!

October 3rd 2025

The finalists for this year’s Leicestershire Promotions Tourism and Hospitality Awards have been announced!

Now in its 15th year, the tourism and hospitality awards – organised by tourism specialists Leicestershire Promotions – are the regional heat of the national Visit England Awards for Excellence. 13 of the winners will automatically proceed to the shortlist of the national awards.

Last year three of our local attractions and businesses made it through to the national finals, with the National Space Centre and King Richard III Visitor Centre receiving silver awards and The Griffin Inn, Swithland receiving a bronze award.

Gold, silver and bronze winners will be announced at a glittering ceremony at Athena in Leicester on 3 December 2025.
