Attractions nominated for Rough Guide to Accessible Britain Awards

Windsor's Legoland is in contention for a Rough Guide award

Caravan owners considering organising a summer break may be interested in an upcoming tourism awards ceremony.

The Rough Guide to Accessible Britain Awards will be presented to firms which display a good attitude towards being accessible, inclusive and inspirational attractions.

Nominees have been put forward for a range of categories including Best Family Venue, Best Free Venue and Best Action Venue.

Caravan enthusiasts may be particularly interested in the family section, which will see London’s Science Museum compete with the Eden Project in Cornwall and Legoland Windsor for honours.

Science Museum head of audience research and advocacy Kate Steiner explained that the facility is “delighted” at being put forward for such an illustrious gong.

The museum has a policy in place that helps deaf and disabled visitors and Ms Steiner explained that staff “strive to ensure that the needs of people with disabilities are taken into account when designing services” to create an inclusive culture.
