Etch

Sunday Times Where Was I? competition

The prize:

The winner and a guest will spend two nights at Northcote, staying in the hotel’s master suite, and enjoying breakfast and two dinners in its Michelin-starred restaurant. On the first night guests will dine on the executive chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen’s five-course Gourmet Menu, complete with matched wine flight, and on the second a three-course meal from the restaurant’s à la carte menu. Northcote is also home to a cookery school and chef’s table for those who would like to learn more about its culinary secrets.

Set not far from Blackburn, Northcote is the perfect launchpad for hearty walks over the Forest of Bowland’s wild moors, as well as days out in the Ribble Valley: home to Whalley Abbey, Stonyhurst College and Ribchester’s Roman fort.

The prize must be taken before March 31, 2021, subject to availability and excluding public holidays, December 23-January 1, and the hotel’s Obsession food festival.
