Great to visit Lakeside Adventures near Hartlebury and meet the family behind this brilliant local business.
What began as a farm diversification project has grown into a fantastic tourism attraction, bringing families into Worcestershire, creating jobs and supporting the wider rural economy.
This is exactly the kind of enterprise we should be backing. A family taking an idea, investing in it and building something that people travel to enjoy.
Tourism businesses do far more than provide a great day out. They support local pubs, cafés, shops and accommodation, and they help put places like Worcestershire on the map.
As Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, I want to see more support for businesses like Lakeside Adventures, not more costs and red tape holding them back.
A big thank you to the team for the warm welcome. It is a fantastic attraction and well worth a visit this summer.
