Travel to London in style

Land this prize and the four of you will be heading down to London in the comfort of an LNER Azuma train, which comes equipped with plenty of ways to keep the little ones entertained. The journey takes a little over two hours, so connect to the free wifi and those all-important charging points, and you’ll arrive at your destination in no time. Before you head home, be sure to check out the family lounge at King’s Cross, a cosy hideaway packed with games and a soft play area.
Explore the many worlds of KidZania

Your prize includes free tickets to Westfield’s KidZania – a sprawling indoor city where kids can try their hand at different professions. It’s a haven for big imaginations, with a fully interactive set up and plenty of opportunity for independent fun. From the moment you check-in they’ll be free to explore a whole host of immersive role play activities, with everything from an aviation academy and a fire and rescue unit to a spy agency and a science lab.
Brew up a magical afternoon tea

If you’re our lucky winner you’ll get to enjoy an out-of-this-world afternoon tea at the magical Wizard Exploratorium. This bewitching experience will see your little magicians wave their working wands to brew interactive teas, all the while learning about the fascinating world of molecular gastronomy. Expect potent potions, colour-changing creations and plenty of spellbinding surprises, alongside a menu of bite-sized goodies and sweet treats.

Hoxton Street Monster Supplies is a shopping experience like no other, and you’ll pick up £50 to spend in this quirky establishment. Offering everyday items for the living, dead and undead, some of their customers have been shopping there for centuries. Your little monsters will be able to get their claws on everything from fang floss and brain jam to toasted bone chunks and cubes of earwax. Don’t worry, it’s all far more delicious than it sounds.
Chow down on American cuisine

A big day out needs a great big dinner, and that’s exactly what you’ll get if you land this prize as you’ll be chowing down on a feast for four at the esteemed Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly Circus. Kick things off with a big ol’ pile of onion rings, before tucking into your choice of main course – think larger than life burgers, ribs and mac & cheese. Finish things off with a thick slab of everyone’s favourite dessert – oh-so-gooey chocolate cake.
Snuggle down at a 5-star hotel
