Thursday 30th October 2025: Where else but Jimmy’s Farm would be the best place to find out about this? As part of the Carbon Charter’s Suffolk Sustainable Tourism support we invited businesses from the hospitality, entertainment, heritage, visitor attractions, food and drink – and any other business loosely working within the visitor economy – to receive FREE training through a series of workshops.
These workshops were designed to link together as a series, however, the conference at Jimmy’s Farm was the highlight.
