Bondholders receive plaudits in tourism awards

Bondholders have been recognised in the 2025 Peak District, Derbyshire & Derby Tourism Awards.

Organised by Visit Peak District & Derbyshire in collaboration with Visit Derby, the awards are a celebration of the passionate, hardworking and distinctive businesses who continually raise the bar of the local world-class tourism offer.

Showcasing the excellence and outstanding achievement across the area’s £2.89bn tourism and hospitality sector and recognising the sector’s vital contribution to the local economy, shortlisted businesses in 15 categories were celebrated at a joint Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire awards ceremony last month.

The Chatsworth Country Fair 2024, part of the Devonshire Group won Gold in the ‘Festival of the Year’ category.

Morley Hayes took home Silver in the Ethical, Responsible and Sustainable Tourism class.

And the Drive Dad’s Car experience, at the Great British Car Journey in Ambergate was a Bronze winner for Experience of the Year.

The awards were held in partnership with VisitEngland and Gold winners of the core categories will have the opportunity to progress onto the national VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2025, which represent the highest accolades in English tourism.
