By completing the competition form, entrants agree to receive email marketing from Longridge House, which may include news, events, offers, stays and other updates.

Entrants may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link contained in Longridge House emails. Unsubscribing after the competition has closed will not affect an otherwise valid entry or any prize already awarded.

6. Verification of entries

The Promoter is not required to verify every social media action at the point an entry is submitted.

Following the prize draw, the Promoter may verify that the selected entrant completed all requirements applicable to their stated entry method before confirming them as the winner.

If the selected entrant cannot reasonably demonstrate that they completed the required entry steps, their entry may be deemed invalid and another entrant may be selected.

Incomplete, fraudulent, automated or otherwise invalid entries may be disqualified.

7. The prize

There is one prize.

The winner will receive:

• One complimentary overnight stay for two people at Longridge House.
• Lancashire breakfast for two the following morning.

The prize is for two people sharing one room and is valid for 12 months from the date it is issued.

All bookings are subject to availability, Longridge House hotel opening days and normal operating times. Room type will be allocated by Longridge House, subject to availability.

Unless expressly included above, the prize does not include dinner, drinks, additional meals, upgrades, travel, transport, spending money or any other expenses incurred by the winner or their guest.

The prize is non-transferable, non-exchangeable and no cash alternative will be offered.

8. Winner selection and verification

One potential winner will be selected at random from all valid entries received before the Closing Date.

Each eligible entrant will receive one entry into the draw, regardless of the entry method used.

The selected entrant's entry will then be verified against the requirements of their stated entry method. The entrant will only be confirmed as the winner once the Promoter is satisfied that the entry is valid.

If the selected entrant did not complete the required steps, is ineligible or cannot reasonably verify their entry, another potential winner will be selected at random.

9. Winner notification

The winner will be contacted within 7 days of the Closing Date using the email address supplied on entry.

The winner must respond within 7 days of the initial notification.

If the winner cannot be contacted, does not respond, is found to be ineligible or their entry cannot be verified, the Promoter reserves the right to withdraw the prize and select another winner.

Longridge House will not ask entrants to make a payment in order to claim the prize.

10. Redeeming the prize

The confirmed winner will receive instructions for arranging their stay directly with Longridge House.

The stay must take place within the stated 12-month validity period and is subject to availability. Availability on any particular date cannot be guaranteed.

If the winner does not use the prize within its validity period, the prize will be forfeited unless otherwise agreed by the Promoter.

11. Photographs and social media content

Entrants retain ownership of photographs and other content they create as part of their entry.

Entering the competition does not automatically grant the Promoter permission to use an entrant's photograph in unrelated marketing or advertising.

Where other identifiable people appear in a photograph, the entrant is responsible for ensuring those people are happy for the photograph to be shared.

12. Personal data

Personal information supplied as part of an entry will be processed for the purposes of administering the competition, recording entries, verifying eligibility, contacting the winner and fulfilling the prize.

Entry information may be processed using Mailchimp and other service providers acting on behalf of the Promoter.
