Chatsworth strikes gold at tourism awards

Chatsworth, which is part of The Devonshire Group, has won a top accolade at the National Tourism Awards.

The awards, organised by Visit England, recognise the very best of the country’s tourism industry, celebrating quality, innovation and best practice within the visitor attraction sector.

They are designed to showcase organisations that go the extra mile to provide a high-quality day out as the hard-hit sector continues the journey back to recovery.

Chatsworth was awarded the gold award based on the scores it gained in its annual Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme assessment by VisitEngland.

Pamela Pearson, from Chatsworth’s visitor experience team, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded gold for 2020-2021.

“The enormous challenges faced by the tourism industry as a result of the pandemic make this year’s award feel extra special.

“We would like to dedicate the award to all our colleagues and volunteers who pulled together in difficult times to welcome our much-appreciated visitors.”
