Vote before midnight on Sunday 28 February for Norfolk’s Rachel Duffield to be crowned the VisitEngland/ Daily Mirror Tourism Superstar 2016
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. Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse Learning Officer, Rachel Duffield, has been on the campaign trail now for the past six weeks, to bring back this prestigious award to the county.
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
You can tweet about Rachel’s nomination by using #TourismSuperstar and @moaning_martha
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.
