The Brick Lane Music Hall in Silvertown is up against Cadbury World, a self guided tour of its Bournville manufacturing site, Longleat -a stately home in Bath with a safari park, and York Chocolate Story celebrating the heritage of confectionary manufacturing.

The music hall’s director Vince Hayes said: “It’s amazing. I don’t know how we ended up alongside these major tourist destinations. I have no idea if it was a coach driver or company who nominated us.”

The winner of the UK Coach Rally and Awards will be announced on April 20.
