“It’s also a brilliant opportunity for other attractions to book a stand and make group tour and visit organisers aware of what’s coming up throughout 2012 – which promises to be a bumper year for tourism thanks to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics and beyond.”
Ms Sitwell said: “We are delighted to host tour and group organisers here to Renishaw Hall to show just what we have to offer.
“We have a fantastic year of events planned, not least to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee, and hope that groups will choose to visit my home and enjoy its grounds, tours and exhibitions.”
The event takes place on March 29 for more details call 01246 212924.
