Hi !

Promote Your Business with Visit Great Ayton

Join our Business Membership – Supporting Local Tourism, Trade & Community

Visit Great Ayton is your local tourism platform dedicated to showcasing the charm of Great Ayton to the world. We work to increase visitor footfall in a respectful, eco-friendly way while actively supporting local businesses within a 15-mile radius of the village.

Who Can Join?

Any business within 15 miles of Great Ayton — shops, cafes, accommodation providers, attractions, service businesses, and more.

Why Join?

We’re not just a directory — we’re a growing tourism movement with an ethos of supporting local business, community and sustainable tourism.

Whether you're a café looking for more visitors, a B&B wanting to fill rooms, or a creative selling your products online — we’re here to help you shine.

Why It's More Effective Than Social Media Alone

Many businesses rely solely on their own social media — but here’s why Visit Great Ayton gives you a much bigger boost:

Reach Beyond Your Own Followers

Our platform reaches locals, visitors, and tourists actively searching for where to eat, shop and stay — not just people already following you.

Search Engine Visibility

Your social posts don’t show up on Google. Your dedicated VGA profile page does — helping people discover you even if they've never heard of your business before.

Professional Presentation

Unlike social feeds, which quickly get buried or feel cluttered, your VGA profile is always live, clean, branded, and easy to navigate — like a mini-website.

Data & Insights

Social platforms don’t give small businesses easy access to detailed performance data. We give you clear, helpful insights every quarter — no guesswork needed.

Tourism-Focused Community

We attract people planning visits to Great Ayton — meaning your content is being seen by people who are ready to spend locally.
