The Pommery Dorset Seafood Festival win’s yet another award for ‘Tourism Event of the Year’ at the South West Tourism Excellence Awards 2013-14. Dorset Seafood Festival took silver in this year’s awards, announced on the 30th January at Plymouth’s Holiday Inn, where 66 different awards were announced following a rigorous judging process in which a record 350 entries were considered. The awards broke the previous record for entries, with a new awards scheme in Dorset attracting new entries from the ‘east’ of the region.
Chairman of Pommery Dorset Seafood Festival, Roger Dalton, said: “having won Gold in the Dorset Tourism Awards in October, it’s great to follow that with Silver in the South West Awards. We are proud to present such an important Festival in Weymouth, Dorset, and here’s to the Festival’s on-going success for the region and tourism.”
The Pommery Dorset Seafood Festival takes place on 12th and 13th July 2014, Weymouth, Dorset. The festival brings together champagne and seafood, family entertainment and a great opportunity to gain a better understanding of the superb seafood available to us just off our wonderful shores.
With the emphasis on responsibly sourced seafood, the Pommery Dorset Seafood Festival helps raise money for the Fishermen’s Mission charity.
