An outdoor education provider has been shortlisted for a tourism award recognising its commitment to accessibility and inclusion.
Boundless Outdoors, a not-for-profit organisation with residential centres in Malvern and Bell Heath, has been shortlisted in the Accessible and Inclusive Tourism Venue of the Year category at the Visit Worcestershire Tourism Awards 2026/27.
Nick Hands, CEO at Boundless Outdoors, said: “Being recognised in this category means a great deal to us.
“Yes, we work hard to make sure our buildings and grounds are accessible, but it’s really about our people.
“Every member of our team works hard to ensure every person who visits Boundless feels welcome and able to take part, whether that’s a school pupil on a residential, a community group gathering for the weekend, or a couple planning their dream wedding.
“It’s wonderful to see that reflected by an independent panel.”
The awards celebrate excellence across Worcestershire’s visitor economy and serve as a pathway to Visit England’s national Awards for Excellence.

Boundless Outdoors serves a broad range of visitors, including schools, community groups, and couples seeking an inclusive and accessible outdoor wedding venue.
Both its sites hold the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge and are regularly used for residential visits and dry hire bookings.
The organisation also supports the wider community by offering its venues for hire, providing accessible space for gatherings, events, and celebrations.
A second round of judging will now take place, which includes a site visit from an independent judge.
Winners will be announced at a ceremony at The Three Counties Showground on Friday, March 19, 2027.
