The Tiqets 2020 Remarkable Venue Awards, awarded St Paul's Cathedral as Best Landmark Attraction and Stamford Bridge Stadium Tour as Best Attraction in the UK and Ireland. With more than 150 nominees spanning seven categories, and more than 750,000 customer reviews totted up, the Tiqets Remarkable Venue Awards not only celebrated the venues, but also looked forward to a more optimistic 2021.
Tiqets UK & Ireland Regional Manager, Alexis Peppis, commented "What a wonderful selection of winners, it's truly inspiring to see so many plucky underdogs come out on top this year. Despite a tough year these attractions doubled-down on ensuring their visitors were kept safe whilst enjoying themselves. We look forward to working with these innovative 5-star attractions for many years to come"
The event included a special guest appearance by travel guru Simon Calder. His keynote address, 'Culture through the Twenties', was inspirational and brought some much-needed comedic relief ending a challenging year for the industry on a high note.
The winners were awarded to the highest-rated venues in their category based on more than 750,000 customer reviews on Tiqets.com. The full list of nominees are here.
In addition to the above, Tiqets also introduced two new application-based awards for this year. Designed to shine a spotlight on venues that have been innovative in their approach to Covid-19, the winners were:
- Most Innovative Venue: Sherlock: The official live game, London, United Kingdom
- Best Hidden Gem: Forth Boat Tours, Edinburgh, Scotland
To celebrate a more hopeful 2021, and rediscovering the culture on our doorstep, Tiqets are offering UK customers 10% off all attractions in the UK or Ireland using code UK20TIQ12, if booked by 31 January 2021.
