Indulge in a truly special getaway with an overnight stay for two at the beautifully restored Grange Farm, nestled in the heart of the magnificent Euston Estate. Your visit includes a sumptuous 3 course dinner, showcasing the finest local produce in an idyllic rural setting.
As part of this exclusive experience you will also enjoy a guided tour of Euston Hall - a rare opportunity offered only on select days each year. Wander through grand rooms, hear the stories behind this historic family home, and soak up the atmosphere of one of Suffolk's most elegant estates.
A perfect blend of comfort, heritage, and countryside charm - a prize that promises memories to savour.
The winner will have a 7 night stay for 2 people in a Douriya - a self contained 1 bedroom flat in an historic Riad with its own roof terrace, in the medina of Marrakesh. A 3 minute walk to Jma el Fna, it is an excellent location, just a short walk from a number of cultural sites. Services of a housekeeper and a taxi from the airport to the house will be included, but the winner will need to make their own travel arrangements to Marrakesh and pay for food and any excursions. Daily flights are available from Stansted Airport.
Dates will be agreed with the winner and are subject to availability.
