To mark 200 years since the world’s first modern passenger railway, the Tees Valley will take centre stage in a major international celebration – S&DR200.

This free event is open to all businesses and organisations working within the Tees Valley visitor economy- that’s accommodation, attractions, food and drink businesses and festivals and events. It’s your chance to hear first-hand what’s planned for the coming months and how your business can get involved, prepare, and benefit from the influx of international and national visitors.

🎤 Hear from S&DR200 Festival Director Niccy Halifax, who will share an overview of the exciting programme, key milestone dates, and practical ways for local businesses to engage with the festival.

🤝 Enjoy informal networking with fellow businesses from across the region’s visitor economy, and connect with representatives from Visit Tees Valley and the Local Visitor Economy Board.

📣 Chat with the Visit Tees Valley Marketing Team, who can share their free marketing support opportunities and discuss your ideas for collaborating on your own S&DR200 tie-ins for the year ahead

☕ Breakfast and refreshments will be provided
