We are delighted to announce that our Community Vineyard have reached the finals for the Positive Impact Award category for the SME Luton and Bedfordshire Business Awards.
The Positive Impact category celebrates both Community Businesses and Not for Profit Organisations who have positively benefitted society. Our vineyard team, made up of volunteers and headed up by our Vineyard Manager have worked incredibly hard over the past 12 months despite challenges coming their way. We were thrilled to win the regional Positive Impact Award for the whole charity in 2022, and we hope that our hard work will be acknowledged again.
For 2024, the awards ceremony will be held in July at the Bedford Corn Exchange, for an evening celebrating the best of Bedfordshire’s small and medium businesses. The awards are a fantastic opportunity to learn more about and connect with people working for organisations across Bedfordshire.
In 2023, our other small business Ridgmont Station Heritage Centre and Tea Room won Gold for the Hospitality Business of the Year award. Winning the Positive Impact Award would be a wonderful opportunity for our vineyard to join Ridgmont in their SME win.
The award’s night in July comes during the vineyard’s busiest season as they host a range of tours and events over the spring and summer months. From flying day picnics to the popular annual open day, there’s something for all the family to enjoy. Find out more about the vineyard’s events for 2024 here.
