Alexandra Palace

PRESS RELEASE DATED 9th December 2011
The Best Group Travel Prize

What better way to judge what is a great group travel destination than to try it out for yourself? Everyone to Dorset is offering what it believes is the Best Group Travel Prize to visitors at Excursions 2012 at Alexandra Palace.

Visitors to the Visit Dorset stand will be able to leave their details to enter a prize draw. The lucky winners will be drawn on the Saturday afternoon with a prize of a group travel visit to Dorset for up to eight people. They will be provided with excellent accommodation, all meals and a choice of wonderful attractions to visit over three days. This is all free of charge. The second prize is pretty good too, a beautiful piece of handmade Poole Pottery.
