We are pleased to announce that the Bristol Festival of Nature has been selected as one of the three winners in the Tourism Event of the Year category for this year's South West Tourism Excellence Awards. Take a look at the full list of winners and details of the awards.

The South West Tourism Excellence Awards are the ‘official’ tourism awards for the region, linking closely with the awards in Cornwall, Devon and Bristol as well as forming the regional heat of the national VisitEngland awards. A total of 350 entries were considered for the Awards, with all entrants undergoing a short-listing process and over 100 going on to be visited by a team of 25 judges and mystery shoppers. All entrants receive feedback on how they’ve done, giving them the best opportunity both to hone their entry in future years and make improvements to their business.
