The Bristol Hippodrome has been selected as a finalist in the forthcoming South West Tourism Awards in the Access and Inclusivity category.

The awards recognise venues that provide excellent facilities for all.

Trish Hodson, group sales and access manager, said: “To have got this far is a brilliant achievement as there is a rigorous judging process with a record 425 entries across all categories covering the whole of the south west.

“Access is always at the forefront of our customer service and something which we continually strive to improve upon for our patrons.

“This is a fantastic compliment to everyone at the theatre.”

The winner will be announced at an awards ceremony in Weston super Mare on February 12.
