Norfolk's tourism businesses have 22 nominations in this year's awards. Delia's Canary Catering, based at Carrow Road, is nominated in the Business Tourism category while Sprowston Manor is in the Large Hotel category.

There are three nominations from the Wroxham area - Wroxham Barns in the Taste of England category, Philip Search of Broad House Hotel, in the Outstanding Customer Service category, and BeWILDerwood in the Large Visitor Attraction of the Year category.

The awards celebrate the best of English tourism - and are known throughout the industry as the 'Oscars' of tourism. Regional winners go forward to the national awards next spring. The awards dinner is at the National Trust's Ickworth House on Thursday, November 4.
