https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQujeJO3pia5ucTGrA9LA5n4DE4HsMxjxk4ubTNs5Byc_N3w/viewform

What could be better than a last-minute break to the south coast with a full line-up of attractions and activities thrown in? Now’s your chance to win a two-night stay including breakfast at the four-star Marsham Court Hotel with entry to attractions and meals across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole included! 

The Marsham Court boasts stunning coastal views, outdoor summer-heated pool and is just five minutes’ walk from Bournemouth’s beaches and gardens. Spend a day in nearby Poole with an exclusive one-hour tour of Poole Museum, scheduled to open this autumn after a £10m transformation, enjoy drinks and sweet treats for four people at The Old Town Salt Pig café in the newly re-opened Scaplen’s Court.   

Relax in the medieval building or the beautiful herb and physic walled garden, then stroll around the corner to Poole Quay and hop aboard Coastal Cruises Poole for a wonderful harbour cruise or a two-hour trip enjoying the scenic wonders of the Jurassic Coast with full-bar on-board. 

You’ll also have free family admission to the Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, an opulent home crammed with lavish furnishings and exotic objects, which hosts a rolling programme of art exhibitions. Then, for action-packed adventure, head to Bournemouth Pier for the Dual PierZip experience and whizz across the waves on the pier-to-beach zipwire followed by two Clip ‘n’ Climb sessions at RockReef featuring 25 different walls and a ‘stairway to heaven’.  

If that’s too full-on, relax instead and enjoy a meal on the tip of Bournemouth Pier at Key West Bar & Restaurant with superb panoramic coastal views and head to Highcliffe Castle and indulge in an afternoon tea for two at The Castle Pantry with sandwiches, scones and clotted cream. Plus, you’ll receive a Membership Pass to the Castle which entitles you and a guest free entry for a year as well as discounts in the Castle gift shop and on a selection of event tickets!
