Visit Telford joins the nationwide celebration of VisitEngland's English Tourism Week, a campaign highlighting the important role tourism plays in the community, generating economic growth, cultural enrichment and creating quality employment and job opportunities.

Embers Cafe, a culinary hotspot located in the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site, will ignite the start of the celebratory week in Telford with a captivating fire cooking workshop, immersing visitors in the world of outdoor culinary delights.

VisitEngland’s theme for 2024, “Supporting Tourism, the Heart of Our Communities,” resonates with Visit Telford’s mission to welcome locals and visitors to explore and enjoy Telford and Wrekin’s rich heritage, explore stunning landscapes of adventure, discover unique experiences, and warm hospitality.

The fire cooking workshop will take place at Embers Cafe tomorrow (15 March), marking the beginning of English Tourism Week.  The event aligns with the growth in popularity of Telford as an experience destination, where visitors combine a short break with an artisan workshop and learning experience from culinary skills to ceramics, bicycle making, willow weaving and tile design.
