Best Attraction in the South East

Drusillas are very proud to have won the highly acclaimed Visitor Attraction of the Year award organised by Tourism South East. It was a fantastic result considering the region includes Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Hampshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. A record number of entries entered the awards and Drusillas fought off tough competition from Leeds Castle, Blenheim Palace, Beaulieu Motor Museum and Ashmolean Museum. Drusillas will now be entered onto the national stage at the Enjoy England Awards for Excellence.

Managers and staff of Drusillas had a hugely exciting evening at the 21st Sussex Business Awards held at the Grand Hotel in Brighton. Drusillas scooped two of the top gongs at the ceremony; the prestigious Company of the Year (sponsored by Deloitte) and in addition, the much coveted Best Customer Service Award (sponsored by Domestic and General).

The success came after an earlier triumph at the South East England Tourism Excellence Awards where Drusillas received the Silver Award for Large Visitor Attraction Of The Year; an award that encompasses the whole of Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Hampshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire.

Director Christine Smith commented "Winning one award is an honour but achieving three is really superb. It's a real testament to the whole workforce, whether that's serving our visitors on the frontline or behind the scenes. We are truly delighted."
