Our heritage
A Family Tradition of Bringing People Together Since 1988
Kevin Townson founded Heritage Promotions in 1988, building a reputation for welcoming artisan craft and gift fairs across Yorkshire. His son, Aaron Townson — who has helped at events alongside his father since the age of four — took over management of the business in 2024, carrying the family tradition into a new chapter at Spurriergate.
