Land this prize and you’ll receive a Gold membership, giving you free and unlimited access to the house, gardens, adventure playground and surrounding parkland for a whole year during the Main Season. What’s more, your membership also gets you two entries to Christmas at Castle Howard, two visits to the Yorkshire Arboretum and two boat trips on the scenic Great Lake, along with exclusive member perks like fast-track entry and free parking on ever-popular Bank Holidays and event days.

With the grounds just about to blossom for spring, it’s one of the finest times to visit this breathtaking estate. You can see the daffodils in all their splendour, wander around the lakes and gaze in wonder across the Howardian Hills, before stopping for scrumptious hot chocolate at one of the cafes. There’s plenty going on for Easter, too – you can explore the Wildlife Willow sculpture trail or even make your own chocolate to take home with you.

Sample the cafe’s exciting new menu

Your prize also includes a family meal at the cosy Courtyard Cafe, where you can try their recently launched spring menu. Locally sourced ingredients are the star of the show here, providing flavour in abundance to the likes of beer-battered fish and chips, Yorkshire rarebit and the epic Castle Howard burger. Make sure you save room for dessert – the warm rhubarb and custard frangipane is simply divine, pairing perfectly with classic vanilla ice cream.

And that’s not all. Our lucky winner will also pick up a £25 voucher to spend in the Castle Howard Farm Shop. It’s a bonafide foodie paradise, with everything from a butchery serving the finest cuts of meat from hand-reared local produce, to an epic deli boasting over 30 cheeses, charcuterie, pies and much, much more. Don’t forget to take home a bottle of the estate’s own small batch gin, created in partnership with local York-based distillery Sloemotion.
