Destination Staffordshire has launched the annual Out & About publication and around 100,000 copies are being produced. They will be available free from a range of outlets including tourist information centres, libraries, tourist attractions, hotels, B&Bs, large supermarkets and some selected eating places around the county and further afield.

Colin Bryan, MD of Drayton Manor Park and Ambassador for Destination Staffordshire said:

“We identified that there was a limited range of information available to visitors post-arrival. Whilst our Enjoy Staffordshire visitor guide is the main vehicle for inspiration and attraction to the county, we felt further material was required to inform visitors in more detail and disperse them to attractions of their choice, throughout the county.”

Out & About will be financed in part through private and public sector advertisers and funded in part by Destination Staffordshire.
