To celebrate that magical time just before Christmas, Host Unusual has teamed up with Winchcombe Farm and Go Stargazing, in a celestial competition that simply mustn’t be missed!
First prize: a 3-night mid-week stay at George’s Getaway, courtesy of Winchcombe Farm
You’d never guess that George’s Getaway was once a humble stable and chicken coop.
Beautifully nestled on the picture-perfect, family-friendly Winchcombe Farm, in a designated Cotswolds AONB, you’ll be greeted with sleek mod-cons that include a 55-inch TV and a high-end, SMEG-equipped kitchen.
(Though maybe you’d prefer whipping up al fresco feasts on the charcoal pizza oven, or in the rustic 8-person barbecue hut, instead?)
As well as spacious, furnished decking to help you see in the sunset, there’s a sumptuous 7-seater hot tub… and a stargazing geodesic dome with its very own telescope.
Just by entering our competition, you could win a 3-night mid-week stay at George’s Getaway in 2023, for up to 6 adults and 2 children*
But if you’d rather stargaze at home, don’t worry!
Runners-up prize: a brand-new, boxed telescope from Go Stargazing
Go Stargazing is an enlightening platform from which you can discover the best stargazing locations, events, observatories, and local astronomy groups. There are plenty of expert hints and tips on their website too, helping you begin your astronomical adventures in style.
Worth £259, the easily-assembled Ursa Major 6″ f/8 Planetary Dobsonian telescope allows you not only to view the stars, but the planets in all their individual glory.
In good visibility conditions, you can view Mars’ polar cap, Jupiter’s weather-bands, and Saturn’s iconic rings, as well as getting up close and personal with the surface of the moon.
