The REME Museum is delighted to announce that we are recipients of the VisitEngland Welcome accolade for 2024-25.

This award marks the second year that our wonderful Front of House team, including staff and volunteers, has been recognised for their hard work ensuring that every visitor has an enjoyable experience.

This year, accolades were awarded to 78 English attractions covering all aspects of what makes an outstanding visitor experience. The accolades are awarded based on scores that attractions obtained following their annual VisitEngland Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme assessment.

VisitEngland Director Andrew Stokes said:

“These accolades put England’s outstanding attractions in the spotlight as they recognise the amazing visitor experiences available across the country.  They acknowledge the people who give the warmest welcomes, provide the most mouth-watering food and tell the stories that delight visitors, making them jewels of our tourism offer.”

On Wednesday 12 November, we attended a celebratory lunch at the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire to accept our award.

Museum Director, Major (Retd) Rick Henderson said:

“The REME Museum is delighted the hard work of the team is recognised with this Welcome accolade. The museum has received an award every year since opening in 2017 after relocating. The pinnacle was being awarded the Gold accolade in 2022-23 but we are equally proud to have maintained the standard to be nominated again for Gold in 2024 and 2025.”

The museum is proud to have been recognised once again by VisitEngland. Our entire team works diligently to ensure every aspect of the visitor journey is carefully considered and the Welcome accolade is a testament to that work. Well done to our Front of House team and thank you to all of our visitors for your support!
