Update on National B&B Week 2020
National B&B Week is an annual celebration of the UK’s independent accommodation sector. This year, as a result of travel restrictions caused by COVID-19, the event has been postponed until the early summer.
The impact of the coronavirus means that B&B owners across the country are now facing difficult circumstances – but you can do your bit to help.
By booking a B&B, guest house, hotel, or inn now for later in the year you are lending a helping hand to businesses that support their local economy.
If you’ve not booked a break, do so now for the summer, before the season takes off. There are hundreds of properties on our Offers page waiting to welcome you and we will continue to publish offers until the relaunched event takes place.
If you’ve booked a B&B but are unable to travel, re-arrange your stay – please don’t cancel. Your hosts will still love to meet you!
If you can’t rearrange, consider paying for your stay even if you can’t check-in. Your generosity will be very much appreciated.
By doing any of the above, you will be helping the Great British B&B through the current uncertainty and your actions will help support not only the B&Bs themselves businesses in the wider community.
Meanwhile, we are redirecting our efforts to support accommodation providers through this difficult time and limit the impact of the disruption they are experiencing. We are collating helpful advice and guidance for property owners here, where they can also find details of podcasts, webinars and other helpful resources.
We’d like to thank all of the properties, partners and potential guests involved in National B&B Week for their continued support and look forward to sharing an update on new plans to host the celebration later in the summer, with a date to be confirmed and shared in due course.
What is National B&B Week?
Did you know that there are over 20,000 B&Bs in the UK, and that they generate over £2 billion annually to the UK economy? We think that’s something worth celebrating!
That’s why in 2018 we created the UK’s first National B&B Day. Thanks to the efforts of all the fantastic B&Bs and industry partners who made it such a great success, in 2019 we went bigger with a full week dedicated to showcasing the wonderful world of B&Bs. In 2020 we will again be flying the flag for B&Bs across the UK, to raise awareness of the hard work of independent hosts and hoteliers and their incredible contribution to the hospitality industry.
Our goals are to:
- Raise the profile of the independent accommodation sector
- Get as many guests as possible booking and staying in B&Bs over National B&B Week and beyond.
We want everyone to know about B&Bs and how they are the perfect place to stay. We’re working with a major PR agency, and will build excitement with a range of promotional activities throughout the week to show the world what an amazing industry this is. We’re also working with partners and sponsors to encourage visitors to stay in a B&B so that they can enjoy and celebrate this truly authentic and traditional holiday experience.
