Who the organisers are, and why?
This was a highest level, genuinely globally-focussed tourism project, a collaboration between The Small Business Service, Hadrian’s Wall Partnership and The Rural Design Centre, working with the National Innovation Centre for Rural Enterprise under the single banner of Rural Catalyst.
With what happened at Sycamore Gap in 2023, Hadrian’s Wall lost a significant global visual shorthand. Plus, just a few years after the pandemic, the way people make decisions around travel is arguably more discerning. We want Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site to stand out, and be chosen.
