FLOOD-HIT businesses concerned about the impact on visitor numbers can attend a free workshop in Weston.

Somerset County Council has been working with Visit Somerset and Visit England to show the measures they are taking to counter any perception that Somerset is closed to tourists.

The aim of the workshop is to provide businesses with advice to enable their operations to recover, prepare for future weather events and support their promotion.

The workshop is being held on the Grand Pier on April 1 from 9am-4pm and bookings can be made at www.visitsomerset.co.uk
