The highly-anticipated awards ceremony took place at the Country Park Inn, Hessle on Thursday 22nd March, 2012 with hundreds of local tourism businesses represented.
It was a very successful night for a number of local businesses including our friends at Drewtons (Farm Shop) just up the road www.drewtons.co.uk and The Star at Sanction (great pub 3 miles away) http://www.thestaratsancton.co.uk/

David Hockney Exhibition, London
East Yorkshire has had a very exciting start to the year with the opening of the new David Hockney exhibition at the Royal Academy in London.
The sometimes reclusive artist has in recent years chosen to spend much of his time in our part of Yorkshire and his new exhibition, David Hockney R.A. - The Bigger Picture is dedicated to landscapes from his beloved Yorkshire Wolds. Aren't we fortunate that such a globally-recognised talent loves living here.
There has been so much attention (national and international) focussed on Hockney's latest work that East Yorkshire can only benefit from it. Hopefully more people from this country and around the world will come and see for themselves just how beautiful this area really is.
Inspired by what I've seen on the news, I decided to take a drive up to Warter, near Pocklington. It is a gorgeous Wolds village which has inspired much of Hockney's work lately. Despite asking a local for directions to 'The Tunnel', I'm afraid I drove away after an hour being none the wiser. I couldn't locate any of the viewpoints. I've since heard that the regional tourism board are producing a map for us, that should make it easier next time.
Can't wait to see the exhibition, better get my tickets booked pretty quickly. I imagine they will be sold out if I'm not too careful.
For further information about the exhibition please click on the link below:

If you're interested in coming to see the Wolds for yourself and are looking for accommodation, why not come to stay with Estate Escapes www.estateescapes.co.uk
