The team at a South Leeds adventure play attraction is celebrating after it was shortlisted for a Yorkshire tourism award.

Mission Out, based at Tingley Garden Centre, has reached the final of the Newcomer award in the Yorkshire Post Tourism Awards. 

Tingley Garden Centre is part of the Yorkshire Garden Centres family. Group Play Manager, Caroline Ellis is delighted with the news:"Since we acquired our first garden centre at Tong in 2015, it's always been our ambition to be a great destination attraction for all the family and we were aware that there was a gap in our offer for something new and exciting for 7 - 14 year olds to enjoy. In a world that can be dominated by screen time, our challenge was to create a park that inspires, engages and challenges this age group.

"Visitor numbers suggest that we have achieved our ambition and a place in the final is great recognition for the team's hard work and exceptional customer service."

Mission Out faces competition from Elsworth at the Mill, Harrogate Ghost Walk, No. 1 York
and York Minster Refectory. The team will learn whether they have been successful at an awards ceremony at New Dock, Leeds on 4th December. The judges include Wayne Topley, MD of the Cedar Court Hotels Group and Chef Consultant, Steph Moon.

The Yorkshire Garden Centres group also owns Tong Garden Centre and the former Stephen H Smith's Garden Centres in Otley and Bingley.
