Welcome To Yorkshire have revealed the nominees at this year’s White Rose Awards - and Huddersfield is once again well represented.

The Three Acres is recognised in the Inns and Restaurants with rooms category, while Huddersfield Literature Festival has a good chance of being named Tourism Event of the Year, having been nominated at the awards in previous years.

Based out in Shelley, few restaurants in the county hold a reputation for fine dining quite as strongly as The Three Acres has built for itself, with Michelin recognition elevating them in to a select group.

Held back in March, the Huddersfield Literature Festival has attracted such names as Ian Rankin, Irvine Welsh, Susie Dent and Dame Jenni Murray, with the event finding a firm place in the heart of fans of the art form.

Alongside the Holdsworth House Hotel and Restaurant in Halifax, a nominee in the Large Hotel category, and favourites such as Cannon Hall Farm, York Races, the West Yorkshire Playhouse the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, there’s plenty for Yorkshire to come together and celebrate.

The awards are due to take place later on this year in the autumn, with an audience of around one thousand expected to be in attendance.

Colin Mellors, chair of the White Rose Award judges, said: “Yorkshire’s tourism businesses are truly exceptional - bringing large numbers of visitors and income to the region and enhancing our reputation at home and abroad.

“The sector goes from strength to strength and many of its established stars feature on this year’s White Rose shortlist alongside some welcome new additions. What they have in common is their firm commitment to ensuring guests enjoy unrivalled hospitality, produce, facilities and experiences. The fantastic scenery and heritage provide the icing on the cake.

“With so many strong entries, shortlisting was very difficult this year. Choosing the eventual winners is going to be really tough.”

Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “The quality of this year’s entries has been exceptional and makes me feel hugely proud of all the brilliant work going on in tourism in the county. It’s an honour to be part of these awards that recognise the many businesses and organisations that make Yorkshire such an amazing destination.

“I extend my thanks to everyone who took the time to enter and huge congratulations to those who have made the shortlist.”
