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.
Championing somewhere special is a way to celebrate your connection to it 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 seek solace, a childhood memory, a dedication to someone or simply somewhere you have always loved.
Championing that place is a way to share the story, memory or connection that makes it matter to you.
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 is something we do because we love doing it. We keep the site free and clear of annoying adverts, but getting out there, photographing places, researching their stories and keeping everything running all takes time and money. Championing somewhere special helps us keep exploring while giving you a way to share why that particular place matters to you.
How To Champion A Place
Find somewhere special on Fabulous North. If it hasn't already been championed, you'll see the option to champion it on the page. Tell us whether you're championing it personally or as a business, add your details and message, then make your one-off payment. We'll check everything over before it appears on the site. Championing somewhere isn't about owning it. It's simply a way to say “this place matters to me” while helping keep Fabulous North exploring.

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.
Fabulous North receives over 2.2 million page views a year, giving local businesses a gentle and relevant way to reach people planning days out across the North and encourage them to stop by and visit you.
Business Pricing
Championing a place as a business costs £40+VAT.
The business option costs a little more as your panel can include your business name, logo, a short message and a link to your website or social channels, giving your business a little extra visibility alongside a place people are already interested in.
It's a one-off payment with no automatic renewal. When the year is nearly up, we'll get in touch and you can decide whether you'd like to champion it again.
