Conference Centre secures first place in the Cotswolds Tourism Awards


Cotswold Conference Centre has been named the region’s leading conference venue in the prestigious Cotswolds Tourism Awards 2012.

The awards are now into their second year and celebrate the cream of the Cotswolds’ hotels, B&Bs, tourism websites, visitor attractions and other tourism businesses.

Cotswold Conference Centre, on Farncombe Estate, between Chipping Campden and Broadway, won Gold in the Conference Venue of the Year category, beating Cheltenham Racecourse and The Barn at Calcot Manor into joint second place.

The Centre’s Operations Manager Richard Howdle said the award was another endorsement of the variety and quality of services on offer.

“We’re obviously thrilled to have won the category and to be leading the way in one of the strongest regions for tourism in the UK,” he said.

“The Cotswolds benefits from great natural beauty but is also home to some fantastic businesses too. Many people choose us for our central location and our customer focus.

“At Cotswold Conference Centre we are dedicated to meetings, training and teambuilding throughout the week.”

Cotswolds Tourism is a partnership between local authorities and more than 300 tourism businesses in the area.

Other categories in the Cotswold Tourism Awards 2012 included Hotel of the Year, Visitor Attraction of Year, Event of the Year, Pub of the Year, Website of the Year and Tourism Business of the Year.

Judging was carried out by a confidential, impartial panel selected for expertise in relevant areas.

Chris Dee, Tourism Manager at GFirst, commented: “Cotswolds Tourism thrives on the high quality of local tourism businesses and services. These awards reward our achievers and help us to highlight the best of what’s on offer here.”

Cotswold Conference Centre is a modern venue based on the 370-acre Farncombe Estate, five minutes from the picturesque town of Broadway and just half-an-hour from Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon.
