Bramall Hall celebrates national award

Stockport’s Bramall Hall has received a national award from VisitEngland in recognition of the welcome and care it offers visitors.

The historic Stockport attraction achieved a 100% score in the staff category of its VisitEngland assessment, with the team praised for their knowledge, efficiency and customer care.

The local landmark fought off stiff competition from other attractions across the country to receive the VisitEngland Welcome Award. Judges praised staff for their knowledge, efficiency and exceptional customer care.

Cllr Dan Oliver, Cabinet Member for Communities, Culture and Public Protection at Stockport Council, which owns and runs the site, said:

“We’re incredibly proud of the Bramall Hall Team. Anyone who has visited will know how passionate they are about the Hall and making sure everyone receives a really warm welcome.

“To receive national recognition from VisitEngland and achieve 100% for staff in the assessment is a fantastic achievement and thoroughly deserved. Huge congratulations to everyone involved.”

The Welcome Award is part of VisitEngland’s annual Visitor Attraction Accolades, which celebrate attractions across the country that go the extra mile to give visitors a great experience. The award was presented to members of the Bramall Hall team during the VisitEngland award ceremony at the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire on 10 November.

The recognition comes after a significant year for Bramall Hall, following the completion of its new roof as part of major restoration work to help protect the Grade I listed building for future generations.
