Hello. I’m CEO of Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA) in the UK; Chair Bristol Old Vic Theatre; Chair People’s History Museum; Chair London and South East Regional Board of the National Trust; 🏳️🌈 EU OBE culture ambassador and wanderer.
We’ll be publishing our @alva_uk members 2024 visitor figures at midnight. The numbers always get a huge amount of publicity as they are a barometer of the health & growth of #UKtourism, reveal the leisure preferences of domestic & overseas visitors, & reveal regional variations

All of the cast of Richard II @_bridgetheatre were superb but #JonathanBailey brought a really fine, nuanced performance of incandescent rage, vanity, narcissism, divine entitlement and ruthlessness. #LetsDoLondon

Two years ago this week this happened.
As you can see neither of us have aged over the decades. Not even a little bit.

Extraordinary to experience the sheer size and power of the #IguazuFalls - astonishing spectacle, noise and drenched from the spray.

Superb evening - #ChristmasAtKew beautifully and brilliantly lit immersive experience, showing off the gardens, trees and buildings, and telling the stories of the botanical collections, environmental projects and impacts. Gorgeously done and such a fun night.

Hugely privileged this week to have dined at Row on 5 restaurant - part of Jason Atherton’s group - on their 2nd night. Utterly stunning tasting menu - 12 courses I think - some of the best dishes and subtle, nuanced, delicate flavours I have ever tasted. rowon5london.com
