Southwell TourisPartnership

The Southwell Tourism Partnership was established in April 2004. Its members include the Town Council, the Minster, the Workhouse, the Racecourse and representatives from Experience Nottinghamshire and the District Council. The members of the Partnership all put on individual events and as a group we have the opportunity to bid for funding to support tourism activities in and around Southwell and to develop joint events.
