WIN! A Blackpool family holiday and tickets to Pleasure Beach Resort with Code Name Foxtrot

This competition has now closed. Thank you for entering!

That’s right, polish off your dancing shoes and get ready for a good British holiday to celebrate the release of Code Name Foxtrot by Anton Du Beke – his first ever book for children!

We’re inviting the whole family to take part by offering ONE lucky winner the chance to win a trip to Blackpool, including a stay at Boulevard Hotel and Pleasure Beach Resort eTickets.

Boulevard Hotel
The stunning Boulevard was voted the Best Luxury Hotel in Northern Europe 2023. If it’s not a sweeping panoramic of the coast from your luxurious room, it’s a view ‘so close you could touch it’ of our amazing rides. A good night’s sleep and award-winning rollercoasters aren’t two things that usually sit in a sentence together – but at Boulevard Hotel in Blackpool they definitely do!

Pleasure Beach Resort
Looking for pure adrenaline-pumping thrills? Well, you’ve come to the right place. At Pleasure Beach Resort you’ll find some of the most exhilarating, hair-raising and heart-pounding rides in the country.

Dare to ride ICON’s high-speed twists and turns, tower 235ft above the coast on the world-famous Big One, or take a plunging, immersive adventure on Valhalla – the World’s Best Water Ride.

High-five your favourite characters at the UK’s only Nickelodeon Land, take a ride on Wallace & Gromit’s Thrill-O-Matic plus lots more.

The full prize consists of:

  • Two night stay for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children)
  • Staying in a Coastal Family Room with sea view
  • Breakfast on both mornings
  • Free eTickets to Pleasure Beach Resort for the whole family for one day
