Later in June, dog-lovers will doubtless be heading to Tatton Park for this year’s DogFest, which will include star turns from the likes of TV presenter Matt Baker. https://inspirecheshire.co.uk/tv-favourite-to-host-tatton-park-dogfest/
We’re also delighted to announce that entries are now open for the Visit Cheshire Tourism Awards 2027. The awards celebrate the businesses and people powering Cheshire and Warrington's £4.32bn visitor economy and this year there are 18 categories available which recognise the region’s best attractions, hotels and B&Bs, restaurants, pubs and events. https://inspirecheshire.co.uk/entries-open-for-visit-cheshire-tourism-awards-2027/
Finally, for keen photographers, there is a new competition for you to enter your favourite images that celebrate our wonderful Cheshire countryside. The competition is the brainchild of CPRE – the Campaign to Protect Rural England – and includes lots of different categories and entry levels for 13-17 and those over 18. https://inspirecheshire.co.uk/new-photography-competition-celebrates-the-cheshire-countryside/
