The finalists for the 2025 Peak District Derbyshire & Derby Tourism Awards have been announced, showcasing top achievements in our thriving £2.89 billion tourism industry.
This year saw a record-breaking number of submissions, with contenders across 15 award categories that highlight the finest in our local tourism economy – from hotels and B&Bs to campsites, pubs, visitor attractions, and unique experiences.
This year new category for ‘Festival or Event of the Year’ has been introduced, inviting the public to vote for their favourite event. Voting is currently open and will close at 11:59pm on 1st December 2024.
Shortlisted businesses in the remaining categories will now go forward to the final round of independent judging, including a series of mystery shopping visits, before the winners are selected ahead of a joint Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire awards ceremony held at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham on Thursday 20th March 2025.
