Seaton Tramway has won three awards and has been crowned 'Business of the Year' at this year's Jurassic Business Awards.

The Tramstop Café was honoured with the Café, Pub and Fine Dining Award, the nominations ‘praised this café right across the board.' Seaton Tramway was also awarded the Tourism Award.

One Judge said: "An attraction like this is good for the local economy as it has a knock-on effect bringing in visitors to enjoy the scenic beauty of East Devon who then visits other businesses in the area."

The next award, a surprise win for Seaton Tramway was Business of the Year Award, the team was unaware they were nominated, highlights the Tramway's overall excellence and impact on the local business community.

Steve Waite, commercial manager of Seaton Tramway said: "These awards are a fantastic recognition of the hard work and dedication of our entire team. Winning the Business of the Year was particularly special and unexpected. It's an honour to be recognised amongst such distinguished businesses across Charmouth, Seaton, Sidmouth, Lyme Regis, and Axminster."

The Jurassic Business Awards celebrates business excellence in the local communities, recognising businesses for their significant contributions to the local economy, innovation, and community spirit.

The event was organised by Marketing West and hosted at the Sidmouth Rugby Club on February 29, the awards were a celebration of business excellence across the Jurassic Coast communities.

These latest wins add to the already impressive tally of five awards won by Seaton Tramway in 2024, cementing its position as a leading light in the region's business and tourism sectors.

Seaton Tramway is sure to carry through its success when it opens Jurassic Discovery later this spring. The new Seaton attraction will first open with a Soft Play and Café, and then a new walk through animtronic dinosaur exhibition, which is set to open for summer 2024.
