Llandudno Pier named Attraction of the Year for 2024 THE FAMOUS Llandudno Pier has been named the Attraction of the Year at a prestigious awards ceremony. The landmark claimed the prize at the Corporate LiveWire Innovation & Excellence Awards. The awards celebrate the success and achievements of leading professionals and companies for being results driven, service focused and taken an innovative approach to demonstrating exceptional business performance. The pier was assessed on how the team have harnessed more effective processes, products, or ideas in order to transform their industry for the better, increase profits, and/or offer a more successful service. Llandudno Pier comes 'close second' in UK Pier of the Year awards! Owned and operated by Tir Prince Leisure Group, the Grade II listed Victorian pier is the longest in Wales (at around 700 metres) and was first opened in 1877. It recently came second in the annual UK Pier of the Year awards , coming narrowly close to first place behind Cromer Pier. The pier has undergone significant maintenance and refurbishment in the past months, and just unveiled a huge project to refurbish the Happy Valley entrance . A spokesperson for Llandudno Pier said of the award: "We are pleased to announce we have won in the category - Attraction of the Year 2024. "Thank you to everyone's continued support."

Great to see this work starting, Thank you to North Wales Pioneer for the article. Llandudno Pier undergoes work to ensure safety for ‘decades to come’ THE FAMOUS Llandudno Pier is undergoing essential maintenance work to ensure it operates for several more decades. Owned and operated by Tir Prince Leisure Group, the Grade II listed Victorian pier is the longest in Wales (at around 700 metres) and was first opened in 1877. Now, the iron and steel beams and cross members that support several sections of the top of the pier are being replaced and repaired, in what the group called a “thankless and tiring” task. The work is done alongside routine maintenance work throughout the year, particularly on benches, tables and decking. A Llandudno Pier spokesperson told the Pioneer: “We are carrying out essential maintenance work to replace and repair some of the iron and steel beams and cross members underneath several sections at the Pier Head. “This is to ensure the Pier is able to operate for decades to come. “We carry out routine maintenance all year long from repainting all the benches and tables to replacing any worn timber decking. “It is a thankless and tiring job, however we have an amazing, dedicated maintenance team who keep on top of it all year long come rain or shine.” To see original article please click HERE .
