The Essex Tourism Association.
The Guild is a member of the Essex Tourism Assn., which was formed by a number of groups and visitors sites to help promote events and sites of interest throughout the county. The Guild puts events on at a number of Historical venues throughout the year, and our events are publicised in the special magazine issued by the Tourism Assn., called 'Treasure Chest'. The Tourism Assn., arrange a Tourism and Leisure show each year where the Guild put on a display advising which venues they will be holding their events during the year. This show is held each February, and the 2009 show was held at the Brentwood Centre in Doddinghurst road, Brentwood.
