REST AND RELAXATION Glamping Hideaways in Norfolk, known for its outdoor holiday retreats, is spearheading this trend by providing guests with a chance to unwind and reconnect with the natural world, all while indulging in modern comforts. In addition to providing a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation, Glamping Hideaways is committed to supporting rural communities and sharing local life with tourists. By partnering with local artisans, farmers and businesses, Glamping Hideaways contributes to the growth, support and awareness of rural areas and their natural beauty. Farm owner and camping site manager, Andrew Parsons-Mann, tells us: “We now run short courses for people on-site that have become increasingly popular, from bird box making to nature meditation. We often see holidaymakers arrive after a stressful work week, looking like they’re carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. After just a weekend at our site, Sweffling Hall Farm, with the help of mindful activities we host, they are visibly brighter, more energetic and, most importantly, recharged.” Discover more at www.glampinghideaways.co.uk CONGRATULATIONS! The 2024 SME Ely Business Awards recently took place.

Damian Cummins, the awards director, commented: “We’re all aware that SMEs are responsible for driving innovation and competition across the county’s economic sectors. This year’s entries demonstrate a commitment to impact and purpose-driven work that’s here to stay. We should all be proud that such businesses choose to call Ely home.” The gold winners from the evening will be sailing through to the grand final, which will be held at Wembley Stadium later this year.
