Win a luxury break worth up to £1,410 at Matfen Hall

Picture a weekend that feels like a scene from a storybook, set in 300 acres of Northumberland countryside where a neo-gothic mansion stands beside lawns that go on forever. This is the getaway the article invites you to win—a two-night, bed and breakfast escape for two in a Deluxe room at Matfen Hall, a five-star country house with a sense of timeless charm, grand spaces, and a welcoming spirit that makes relaxation effortless.

Along with the stay, the prize includes one three-course dinner for two at Emerald, with dishes inspired by seasonal produce and classic flavours, all served in a setting that feels both intimate and majestic (drinks are excluded).
