Award Winners

We have been selected as a ONE OF THE WINNERS in the South West Tourism Excellence Awards for 2009/10 in the category of BEST SMALL VISITOR ATTRACTION of the year.

After an initial written application, we were then judged by a mystery visitor.  This now means that we could go on to win either a Gold or Silver award at this year's South West Tourism ‘Oscars' on 23rd November 2009.

This is the first award that Oakham Treasures has entered since its launch in July 2008.  The owners Keith & Frances Sherrell are delighted at winning such an important award.  Keith says "I have really enjoyed sharing my passion for collecting bygones with so many visitors.   I would love to take all the credit myself, but, I am of course, indebted to the all of the staff, including the construction team, Sooty, Fencer & Turbo and all who make Oakham Treasures such an enjoyable experience." 

Our thanks go to the Judges and sponsors of the South West Tourism Awards and also to all the staff involved with making Oakham Treasures such an enjoyable attraction. 

Thank you
