Bramall Hall has picked up a top tourism award.

The popular manor house and museum received a national VisitEngland Welcome Award, in recognition of its outstanding staff.

The Welcome Awards showcase attractions across the country which 'go the extra mile' to give visitors a great experience, featuring some stiff competition from across the nation.

The Hall was assessed by VisitEngland and achieved a 100 percent score in the staff category, with the team praised for their knowledge, efficiency and customer care.

Cllr Dan Oliver, cabinet member for communities, culture and public protection at Stockport Council, said: "We're incredibly proud of the Bramall Hall Team.

"Anyone who has visited will know how passionate they are about the Hall and making sure everyone receives a really warm welcome."

"To receive national recognition from VisitEngland and achieve 100% for staff in the assessment is a fantastic achievement and thoroughly deserved. Huge congratulations to everyone involved."

VisitEngland is the official national tourist board for England.
