We’re down to the last few days of voting in this year’s Tourism Superstar award, run by VisitEngland in conjunction with the Daily Mirror.

Rachel, a.k.a. ‘Moaning Martha’, is one of 11 nominees across England and the only one from the East of England. She needs your vote to win the award. Please vote for Rachel / Martha here by midnight this Sunday, 28 February:

As ‘Moaning Martha’ she’s been entertaining and informing visitors to Gressenhall for the past seven years with grumbles and gossip about workhouse life – all in authentic Norfolk dialect. She’s even been on a workhouse diet for a month! You can meet Rachel/Martha in the nominees’ film at the link above, and in a series of very funny YouTube clips called ‘Woss in my baag’: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCutYGra0qZOtrpagOyEfFNA

With tourism one of the major industries in Norfolk, it would be fitting for Rachel to win the award and to help publicise the fantastic tourism offer in the county.
