Back le bid - Help Bring The Tour de France to Leeds!

The tourism agency Welcome to Yorkshire, Leeds City Region Partnership and key local councils have created this offical bid to bring the Tour de France to Leeds in 2016.

Mark Cavendish who is a star sprinter is backing this bid along with Team Sky team mate Ben Swift.

There is also a massive campaign after being launched to try and get the public behind this event and vote to being the Tour de France to the county.

The idea behind this campaign is that if they are successful, the county will benefit from the revenue which would be earned by the increase in tourism for the event and also would show the world how beautiful the county is as the event will be screened worldwide showing on 92 different television channels.

The Tour de France is one of the most exciting sporting events there is and with this campaign, Yorkshire are hoping that it will be held there in 2016.  The 2011 event was held in Paris from the 2nd to the 24th of July, covering a distance of 3,430.50 kilometres.  The winner of the 2011 race was Australian born Cadel Evans.

Leeds is an excellent city backdrop for the colour and excitement of such a high profile race the wider Yorkshire region is also marvellous setting.  It would also be an unmissable opportunity for the local people to witness this international event right in the heart of their own area.

What a Blooming Weekend?

Despite the poor weather conditions on Sunday, Bloom was blooming this weekend and welcomed almost 80,000 visitors to the Phoenix Park Dublin.

Bloom is Ireland's largest gardening, food and family event.  There was something for everyone at the Bloom event, from live cookery and craft demonstrations to free gardening advice/workshops from the experts and great live entertainment for all the family.  Kids can attend Bloom for free, which makes it a more affordable day for all the family.

At 2012's event, the Brasserie Restaurants at Bewley’s Hotels sponsored one of the gardens which combined the artistic direction from Gold Medal Winner Gary Hanaphy with the relaxed and informal dining atmosphere of The Brasserie's at Bewley's Hotels.  

The 'Table For 4' garden won a Gold Medal.  ‘Table for 4’ garden involves al fresco dining and entertaining in a plush, luxury setting, where the colour palette of varying shades of green has the therapeutic effect of allowing guests to relax, de-stress and thoroughly enjoy their dining experience.

The Brasserie Group Executive Head Chef Brian McCarthy was busy cooking up a storm for all the winners of the ‘Table For 4’ competition, Congratulations Ruth Rock, Anna Hannigan and John Taylor.

We had a number of familiar faces who dropped by to view our award winning garden, we were delighted to show off our award winning garden to Pat Kenny, Mimi Murray, Corinna Hardgrave and many more. Thanks to all.
