We are delighted to be a sponsor for the Suffolk Tourism Awards this year, in conjunction with the East Anglian Daily Times and Choose Suffolk.

Our category – for which I was also on the judging panel – was Festivals & Events, a topic which is close to Spring’s collective heart following our work on the Festivals Suffolk brand launch earlier this year.

Suffolk is an amazingly creative place, and the sheer quantity of events across the county would keep anyone with the time available entertained all year round. From small gatherings in village halls to mammoth events like Latitude and the Bury Christmas Market, practically every interest is catered for. Food & Drink, every kind of music, poetry, dance, history – and so it goes on.

On Thursday evening the winners will be announced at a black tie bash in Trinity Park, the regular venue for most of the county’s awards bashes (and lovely it is, too). Georgina, Aprille and I will be there representing Spring and look forward to seeing a lot of old friends on the night.

My last day of my two week placement at Spring. I feel like I’ve done quite a bit in the nine days here. And it’s certainly been a fantastic experience.
