Subscribers are being offered the chance to win one of three prizes this October, ranging from a countryside escape to a hamper of treats and shopping vouchers.

At the centre of the line-up is a two-night stay for two at Friars Carse Hotel in Scotland. Set in grounds beside the River Nith, the hotel offers a characterful retreat with dinner, afternoon tea and breakfast included. Guests can relax in the lounge by the fire, explore the grounds, or venture further afield to nearby attractions. On the second evening, winners will enjoy a two-course meal in the hotel’s Whistle Restaurant.

Three winners will also have the chance to bring the atmosphere of a pub home with a “Pub in a Box” hamper from Imp & Maker. Each hamper includes bottles of Noam Beer, a Black Pig Pinot Grigio, and a mix of crisps, snacks and nuts – ideal for sharing with friends while watching the football or enjoying a quiet evening in.

For those who prefer flexibility, the voucher competition offers a £100 WHSmith eGift voucher for one winner, with five runners-up each receiving a £20 voucher. These can be used on books, stationery and gifts – just in time for the festive season.

Entries close on 16 November, ahead of the launch of the Competition Advent, which will see three new prizes released every week through to January. The competitions are open exclusively to subscribers. To be in with a chance, visit the competitions page and submit your entry.
