BURNHAM’S coach project has received a major boost after the town was shortlisted as one of the UK’s top coach destinations at a national awards ceremony recently.

Burnham was named along with Bournemouth, Devizes, Gloucester, Rudesheim in Germany and Liverpool – with the Merseyside city being named as the best destination overall. The project aims to promote Burnham as a coach destination.

Since the project started in 2013 there has been around 1,000 more coach parties visiting the town, boosting local businesses and helping spread the word about the town.
