Revitalizing Shropshire Tourism: An Unmissable Event for Local Businesses
Shropshire's tourism sector is poised for growth with a new event encouraging local businesses to connect and collaborate for greater success.
In a bid to invigorate the Shropshire tourism scene, the local Destination Management Organisation is unveiling a pioneering event aimed squarely at the county’s tourism and hospitality businesses. This debut event, named Tourism in Shropshire, spearheaded by Visit Shropshire in partnership with Shropshire Festivals, is set to unfold at the charming Engine House in Highley on November 12. An opportunity awaits local enterprises to engage with service providers, fostering collaborations that promise to elevate the tourism landscape.
A Platform for Connection
Nestled within the scenic confines of The Engine House, the Tourism in Shropshire Supplier Event promises an enriching experience for business attendees. With suppliers from various sectors ready to showcase their offerings, the event is designed to serve as a central hub for discussion and exchange.

Networking at its Finest
For those arriving, a unique experience awaits as a specially commissioned steam train ride beckons from Severn Valley Railway’s Bridgnorth Station to the event venue.
