Ribble Valley Plan for Groups
5/5/2017
Tourism businesses in one of the UK’s hidden gem destinations came together this week to plan for lots more coach parties.
Ribble Valley in Lancashire has a superb collection of
top class coach-stop attractions, quaint market towns, excellent accommodation
and stunning scenic tour routes.
The businesses met at the Foxfields Hotel to look at
ways to provide an even better service for group visitors.
The event was coordinated by UK group travel
specialists Steve Reed Tourism from Hampshire working in conjunction with Visit
Ribble Valley.
Attendees on the day read like a who’s-who of Lancashire tourism including James Places [hotel and
visitor attractions]; Whalley Abbey; The Spread Eagle in Sawley; Melt
candle-makers; Browsholme Hall; Waddow
Hall; Clitheroe Castle Museum; David Johns Tour Guide and Brethertons Goldline
Coaches.
