Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place said:  “Congratulations to Tessa and Steve Cook we hope they enjoy their prize which includes an overnight stay at Holiday Inn, Barnsley, tickets to the April Fools Comedy Festival and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Attracting almost 1.2 million visitors is a huge achievement for Barnsley Museums and is a testament to just how popular and important the venues are to the local community.”
