The website, funded by Ashfield District Council, also features updates on the council’s regeneration projects, news articles, and stories of the colourful characters and events from the district’s history in Ashfield stories.

The website was backed as one of 16 transformational projects from Ashfield District Council’s Towns Deal to help drive the visitor economy in the area.

Coun Matthew Relf, executive lead member for Growth, Regeneration, and Local Planning, said: “The new Discover Ashfield website is a great tool for visitors to use, as well as residents, to help them explore everything that Ashfield has to offer, whether it’s for a day out or just a couple of hours. The new features on the website will help put the district on the map as a fantastic place to live, work, visit, and play.”

Discover Ashfield is Ashfield’s place marketing brand, made up of representatives and leaders from local businesses, the education sector, community organisations, councillors, and the district council. The independent board of members work together to apply for funding, make decisions with the council, and champion Ashfield as a great place to start a business, buy a home, educate children, find a career, and enjoy as a visitor or resident.
