A family-run, outdoor activity centre near Ashby has urged local people to get behind its bid to win the Visit England Superstar Award.

Field Sport UK is an award-winning, family-run, outdoor activity centre in Lount, and has just been selected as one of 10 finalists in VisitEngland's Tourism Superstar Awards 2024.

But the overall winner of Tourism Superstar 2024 is decided by a public vote HERE.

Voting is now open now, and the winner will be announced at the end of English Tourism Week, which runs from March 18-25.

The awards recognise the passion and hard work of English tourism industry workers, and celebrate those who go the extra mile to ensure that tourists in England have an amazing and unforgettable visitor experience.

Field Sport UK says it offers up to 30 sport, family and team building exercises with the aim of supporting better physical and mental wellbeing - and promoting the importance of enjoying the great outdoors.

The eco-friendly business makes full use of onsite woodland materials to build composite toilets, pathways and structures.

Kelly Wheeler, Director at Field Sport UK said: "We're so proud to have been named as a finalist for the Tourism Superstar awards.

"It's such an achievement for us as a team and I'm so proud of us all. It's an amazing place for both visitors and staff alike.

"We're passionate about delivering high-quality visitor experiences and continually striving to improve our offering.

"We're also committed to supporting other local businesses and actively promoting the local area as a top visitor destination.

"As a champion of the local area, we hope that people will support us and vote for us to be their Tourism Superstar!"

Mike Denby, Director of inward Investment and Place Marketing, said: "Field Sport UK has worked proactively with Visit Leicester to support and be part of our Fitcation campaign, that puts a spotlight on over 40 different physical activities.

"They encourage visitors to try new sporting and physical activities in the National Forest. They fully deserve their nomination for the highly-prized Tourism Superstar competition and we wish them every success."
