Welcome Break's 60th UK service area
Rotherham New Site Opening
Coming early January 2025
We are excited to be opening our new service area in Rotherham in early January 2025. This opening marks the 60th Welcome Break service area in the UK.
The new site will provide top of the range facilities, as well as a variety of our much-loved brands. Located on the M1, Junction 33, this new service area will provide not only a convenient place to stop, but also approximately 230 new jobs to the Rotherham community.
Artist Call
With the opening fast approaching, we are on the lookout for local artwork inspired by the area. We want the fantastic Rotherham community spirit to be felt throughout the service area, and we are therefore asking artists to send in their artwork to be in with a chance of having their work displayed on site.
To enter the artwork competition, please see all the key information below:
- Artwork should be inspired by the local area.
- Artwork must be A0 paper and in a medium that can be displayed in a frame chosen by Welcome Break.
- All submissions must be photographed and sent in high resolution to rotherhamlaunch@welcomebreak.co.uk.
- Submissions must include information about the artist(s) and a paragraph about their piece, which will be displayed on a plaque with the winning artwork.
- There will be up to four winners chosen.
- Deadline for entries closes at the end of November.
We look forward to seeing all the artwork that is inspired by Rotherham and will be in contact with the winners in December to confirm the next steps. Please note that Welcome Break will own the rights to display the artwork for as long as we choose and there will be no legal obligation to return it after display.
