Win an ultimate Durham getaway for two

Get ready for the ultimate Durham getaway for two! We’ve teamed up with some of the county’s most loved attractions and experiences to bring you a spectacular prize bundle packed with history, heritage, shopping and relaxation.

One lucky winner will enjoy an unforgettable break featuring:

A two-night stay at Lumley Castle Hotel, a magnificent 14th-century fortress overlooking the Durham countryside. You’ll stay in a cosy Courtyard Classic room, enjoy a full English breakfast each morning, and indulge in a delicious Afternoon Tea for two.

With its grand interiors, hidden passageways and stories woven into every stone, Lumley Castle offers a truly magical escape. You’ll step back in time the moment you walk through the doors at Lumley Castle which was constructed in the 1388 and takes its name from the man who was behind its creation, Sir Ralph Lumley.

Shopping lovers will be thrilled with a £100 gift card for Dalton Park Outlet & Outdoors. As the North East’s largest outlet shopping destination, Dalton Park is home to big brands, great bargains, and scenic walking routes - perfect for treating yourself to something special.

You’ll also receive an Annual Pass for two to Beamish, The Living Museum of the North, where history comes to life across an immersive 300-acre open-air site. From vintage trams and Edwardian sweet shops to 1950s homes and working farms, you can step back in time again and again throughout the year.

Railway enthusiasts will love the Locomotion goody bag, packed with railway-themed treats from the museum in Shildon. Home to iconic railway engines and vehicles – a must-visit for anyone fascinated by Britain’s rail heritage.

The adventure continues with two Discover Day passes for The Auckland Project, offering access to a remarkable collection of attractions including Auckland Palace, its stunning gardens, the Spanish Gallery, the Faith Museum, and more, each celebrating centuries of art, culture and history.

Finally, enjoy peace, beauty and deep heritage with two unlimited individual passes for Ushaw Historic House, Chapels and Gardens. Wander through spectacular Gothic architecture, serene gardens, creative exhibitions and a calendar full of events at this extraordinary former Catholic seminary.

And to top it all off, we’re also giving away a gift voucher for a seasonal spa day for two at Seaham Hall Serenity Spa! A coastal spa retreat featuring award-winning facilities, delicious dining experience in Geko – the new Japanese inspired restaurant, and a choice of relaxing treatments. It’s the perfect way to unwind, recharge and feel utterly pampered.

Our getaway for two includes:

  • Two-night stay at Lumley Castle Hotel in a Courtyard Classic room, with full English breakfast each morning. Plus, Afternoon Tea for two in the Knight’s Restaurant.
  • £100 gift card to spend at Dalton Park Outlet & Outdoors.
  • Annual Pass for two at Beamish, The Living Museum of the North
  • Locomotion goody bag, filled with Railway themed items.
