Visit Shropshire is holding a new event in conjunction with the ‘Tourism in Shropshire’ launch to encourage the county’s tourism and hospitality businesses to utilise local services and businesses.
This is the first event from Tourism in Shropshire, and it's taking place at The Engine House in Highley on November 12th in partnership with Shropshire Festivals.
Suppliers and service-based businesses will be exhibiting, ready to spark connections and share opportunities with attendees from visitor attractions, hotels, venues, restaurants, and events from across the county.
What to expect:
This free-to-attend event will bring together suppliers and service providers from across the county, all ready to showcase how they can support Shropshire’s thriving tourism industry.
Alongside the exhibitor stands, visitors can enjoy:
📝 Workshops led by Reech and Shropshire Council, offering practical advice
🤝 Networking opportunities with fellow businesses
🎤 Live entertainment, including live music from The Bluebird Belles
☕️ Light refreshments
🚂 Locomotives in The Engine House
Arrive in style
Attendees are invited to park at Severn Valley Railway’s Bridgnorth Station and take a specially commissioned 20 minute steam train to the venue at the visitor centre at Highley Station, making arrival part of the day itself.
Why attend?
The key objective of our first B2B event is to connect Shropshire’s tourism businesses with the fantastic service-based businesses on our doorstep, giving them the best value, access to quality services, and supporting our local economy.
