Become A Champion

Some places mean more than a pin on a map.

They might be where you got engaged, where you walk when you need to clear your head, somewhere you visited as a child, a favourite view, a family memory, or simply a place you love.

Becoming a champion is a small way to celebrate somewhere special while helping support Fabulous North, so we can keep discovering, writing about, and sharing brilliant places across the North.

Share your story on Fabulous North

Some places stay with you. It might be a favourite view, somewhere you go to clear your head, a childhood memory, a dedication to someone, or simply somewhere you have always loved.

Becoming a Champion is a small way to show your love for that place and share the story, memory, or connection that makes it matter to you.

A favourite memory A dedication A special view Somewhere you love

Your panel can include your name, a photo, and a short message. A few genuine words are perfect.


As a thank you we will also put a Champion Crown against your name in the league table and you will appear on the legendary Wall Of Champions.

Why We Do This

Fabulous North takes a lot of time, care, and cost to keep going. Championing a place helps support the site directly, so we can keep adding new places, improving the website, and covering the running costs without filling the pages with popups or random adverts.

How To Champion A Place

To champion a place, simply search Fabulous North and find the place you are interested in. If the Champion spot is available, you will see the option to become its Champion on the page. Choose whether it is for you personally or for a business, add your details and message, and we will check everything before it appears on the site.

Championing a place is not about taking ownership of it. It is just a small way to say, “this place matters to me”, while helping keep Fabulous North online for everyone who uses it.

Find A Place To Champion
Business Champion

Be seen in the right place

Businesses can also champion a place, especially where there is a genuine local connection. That might be a nearby cafe, pub, accommodation provider, shop, activity company, or local service.

Your panel can include your logo or image, a short message, and a link to your website or social page. It is a simple way to support the Fabulous North while appearing next to places people are already interested in visiting.
