“We want to make Uttlesford a tourist destination and we need the input and engagement from the businesses to achieve this, so I do urge them to attend.”

“We want to work together with the tourism and leisure businesses to help put Uttlesford on the tourist map and
we want to encourage as many businesses to attend the event.”
