Being recognised for the work you do is absolutely thrilling! Can you believe it? When I launched this brand a few years ago, I never imagined that people would truly value what I create. It's incredible! Even though I initially didn't expect to be taken seriously, all I wanted was to share my journey and my developing passion for all things heritage. My ultimate goal has always been to nurture a passion for British heritage, and now it's amazing to see it all coming together!
As August 2024 approaches, my Instagram account has amassed more than 80 thousand followers, giving me confidence in my potential to make a significant impact in the heritage sector. While I am undeniably proud of this accomplishment, being approached earlier this year by Lady Violet Manners to join her new project, HeritageXplore, was a major highlight for me.
Before my upcoming video call with Lady Violet, I was quite nervous. However, Violet's very personable and down-to-earth personality quickly made me feel at ease. Violet told me all about her new vision to promote independent heritage sites in the UK, and I am not ashamed to say I wanted in.
HeritageX is revolutionising the way we experience and engage with heritage sites by introducing a cutting-edge digital platform. This innovative solution aims to bring together a diverse range of independent heritage sites under one virtual roof, offering visitors a seamless and convenient way to explore and connect with these cultural treasures. By centralising booking processes for visits, tours, and other services, HeritageX is streamlining the entire experience for users, making it easier than ever to access and enjoy these historical landmarks.
If you're curious about what sets HeritageXplore apart, you're not alone - I wondered the same thing. Unlike organisations like the National Trust and English Heritage, HeritageX focuses on promoting independent country houses and more, without providing a membership option. On this platform, you can discover some of Britain's most intriguing hidden treasures, explore upcoming events, and make reservations directly on the website. While this may seem reminiscent of the Historic Houses Association, HeritageX emphasises the autonomy of its members and stands out from other charities and associations by offering a cutting-edge booking system with integrated customer support.
Although HeritageXplore is still in its initial stages, it is rapidly expanding with new properties constantly being added. This platform is set to become the top destination for staying informed about the latest happenings in the heritage realm. Participating in the early stages of this project has been incredibly thrilling. I recently had the pleasure of attending a delightful launch event for affiliate partners at the stunning Boughton House - you can read more about it here - where I had the opportunity to connect with other passionate individuals. I am eagerly anticipating what the future holds and sincerely hope that others will join in supporting Lady Violet's vision.

In addition to this website, I am also on social media. Most of my content ends up on Instagram, where you can get up-to-date information on what I am up to. I also have a YouTube channel where I post longer videos, such as country house tours and cinematic drone videos. Please get involved!
Thanks so much for dropping by!
