Nostell Priory Holiday Park has reached the finals of the “Tourism Oscars” for the 5th time in 6 years.

Battle for Tourism Oscars

Nostell Priory Holiday Park

Following a record breaking number of entries to the White Rose Awards, Welcome to Yorkshire has today revealed which tourism businesses will battle it out for the most prestigious tourism awards in the UK.

The eagerly awaited list boasts 90 of Yorkshire’s best attractions, hotels, venues and individuals from the tourism industry. The list covers 16 categories (*categories and finalists listed at end), the winners from which will be announced at a glittering gala awards ceremony on the evening of 4^th October at the Yorkshire Event Centre based at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.

Tickets for the White Rose Awards are being snapped up and the 90 finalists will be on the edge of their seats as the winners are announced in front of an estimated 1,000 guests.

Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said:

“The quality of this year’s White Rose Awards entries is so incredibly high we had no choice but to increase the number of those shortlisted. This clearly demonstrates that the Yorkshire tourism industry has really stepped up its game in terms of quality and presence, both of which are vital if we are to achieve our aims to be the UK’s best.”

The award categories range from Best Visitor Experience of the Year and the Access for All Tourism Award to the Sustainable Tourism Award and Business Tourism Award. Nostell Priory is nominated for the Caravan Holiday Park and Holiday Village Award. There is also a new category, Visitor Information Award, announced for 2010.

Previous winners have included: The Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa, Helmsley; Swinton Park, Masham; The Railway Children produced by York Theatre Royal and performed at The National Railway Museum; Sheffield City Hall, Sheffield; Residence 6, Leeds; The Yorkshire Waterways Museum, Goole, and Green’s Restaurant, Whitby.

Judging is undertaken by a panel of independent judges and as in previous years this has been no easy task. Independent Chair of Judges, Barbara Woroncow OBE, complimented the standard of 2010’s finalists:

“It is never easy to create a shortlist when the overall quality of submissions is of such an excellent standard. What is certain is that the finalist list really does represent some of our very best tourism attractions across the county, accommodation and experiences, from glamping to castles and mazes.”

All winners from the national categories are automatically entered into the national Enjoy England Awards for Excellence 2010.

Middlesbrough Council has extended the special holiday scheme for carers which it provides in association with Blue Sky Resorts, the Wakefield-based leisure company. 

The scheme involves the council renting a specially-constructed static caravan, designed for use by people with a disability, which has been installed at Blue Sky’s Spring Willows Leisure Park at Staxton, between Scarborough and Filey.

The council initially agreed last year to rent the two-bedroom caravan for a period of 75 weeks over five years.  But the response to the scheme has been so positive, it has now extended the rental period from 15 weeks a year to 26. 

The fully-accessible caravan is equipped with a ramp for wheelchair access as well as other facilities, such as extra wide doorways, lower worktops and handrails. 

Spring Willows’ General Manager, Ian Clark, said: “Purpose-built caravans like this are fairly rare, so we are delighted that Middlesbrough Council’s scheme has proved to be so popular. It is a terrific opportunity to provide an accessible caravan holiday in a beautiful part of the country for people with or without a disability.”

[spokesperson] from Middlesbrough Council Department of Social Care, added: “The provision of respite breaks has been shown to be one of the highest priorities for carers.  This is why Middlesbrough Council Department of Social Care has purchased carers’ breaks at two venues, including Spring Willows. The caravan at Spring Willows is ideal as it is fully accessible, which is essential for some carers. The breaks have proved to be very popular and feedback we have received from carers who have stayed at Spring Willows has been very positive.”

This luxurious family holiday park is a magnificent suntrap, nestling into the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds on the outskirts of Scarborough. A first class family park centred on a beautiful natural spring and set amongst landscaped gardens. Located amidst the spectacular North Yorkshire Moors, Wolds, Farmlands and the seaside towns of Scarborough, Filey & Bridlington, Spring Willows Caravan Park offers:

• Free Modern Indoor Heated Pool
• Live entertainment in the function room
• Bar & Beer Garden
• Restaurant
• General Store
• Arcade
• Pool table
• 2 Children’s Play areas
• Launderette
• Dog walking area

Blue Sky Resorts, the Wakefield-based leisure company, has completed a £75,000 upgrade of Spring Willows Leisure Park, at Staxton, near Scarborough, which it acquired in 2009.

Ian Clark, General Manager at Spring Willows, said the upgrade included the construction of five new bases for holiday homes and the installation of improved site infrastructure, such as power points for touring caravans and better lighting.

The new bases, which have been constructed using environment-friendly materials with zero ph values, bring the number of fully-serviced stands for static caravans/ holiday homes on the 40-acre park to 61.  There are also facilities for 64 touring vans, as well as another 20 unserviced pitches for casual users.

Mr Clark commented: “The upgrade is the first stage in our development programme aimed at bringing the park up to the same five-star standard as Blue Sky Resorts’ other sites, and to make it more ecologically-friendly.  Our aim is for Spring Willows to win a David Bellamy Gold Award.”

Spring Willows boasts a range of comfortable luxury holiday homes for you to choose from. There’s no compromise on quality, each model is beautifully fitted and furnished and provides all the space you need to enjoy weekends, holidays, or longer stays. The park is open for 11 months of the year, so you can choose as much time in your home as you want too.

Blue Sky Resorts Marketing Manager, Lyn Pearson, successfully completed Edinburgh’s Moonwalk at the weekend.  With the support of her Blue Sky Resorts colleagues, Lyn managed to raise £400 for the charity!

Lyn and her team mates – The Bobby Dazzlers – completed the walk in 6hrs 40mins – a truly great time!!  The first 7 miles were completed at a pace of 15 minutes per mile, this naturally slowed down until around mile 20 … when the sun started rising as they walked along the coast, the walkers were revitalised and stormed the last 6.2 miles in no time at all.  Lyn said “it was really tough at times, but the spirit of all on the walk helped keep us moving.  I had so many generous donations from my colleagues at Blue Sky Resorts, not finishing the full 26.2 miles was no option for me!  I’d like to thank all who donated to this very worthy cause, it is very much appreciated!”

Blue Sky Resorts offer perfect locations for your holiday home throughout the UK.  Whether you prefer a retreat by the coast of a picturesque corner of the countryside, trust Blue Sky Resorts to help find you the perfect location for your very own holiday home.

Blue Sky Resorts are pleased to support local charities and will happily support local charity events in any way that they can.  Springhouse Country Park recently donated a week’s holiday for a local NSPCC Charity Auction night.  The family who won this prize are very much looking forward to experiencing the relaxing retreat that is Spring House Country Park.
