As part of VisitEngland's Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme we've been awarded a Gold Accolade for 2016.

VisitEngland, the national tourist board have announced their accolade winners for 2016 and we’re delighted that Waddesdon Manor has been given a Gold Accolade for 2016.

Introduced by VisitEngland in 2014, the accolades are available to attractions that are part of the Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme. They are allocated through a scoring system based on an annual unannounced assessment by VisitEngland. Covering the elements that matter most to visitors, including warm welcome on arrival, the presentation of collections, the storytelling and the quality of onsite catering.

This accolade recognises the extra mile winning attractions go towards making sure their visitor experience is the best it can be.
