To celebrate the release of Rosie Blake’s laugh out loud funny How to Get a (Love) Life, we’re giving away exciting and romantic prizes every day until Friday 14th February. From adventurous date ideas to gorgeous gifts, we want to celebrate YOUR love life by making this the best Valentine’s Day yet.
How to Get a (Love) Life Day Three: Lunch on a steam train with IntotheBlue!
There’s just something so romantic and mysterious about steam trains – especially in fiction. From Anna Karenina arriving on a trembling station platform in Moscow amidst puffing steam to a chance meeting on a commuter train leading to a passionate love affair in Brief Encounter, they transport us to a very glamorous bygone era. And they make for a pretty perfect and memorable date! This special prize will see you and your date climbing aboard the South Yorkshireman for a trip on the much-loved Great Central Railway in Leicestershire, the UK’s only main line heritage railway. As you take your seats in fully-restored yet delightfully nostalgic dining cars – complete with crisp table linens and polished silver – you’ll be treated to a first-class, four-course lunch while you journey through the wild and windswept English countryside.
After lunch, you can head to the bar carriage and have a brandy, or get off at one of the picturesque stops to stretch your legs before returning to your seat for coffee and mints on the return journey.
We’ll even stand on the platform and wave you off with handkerchiefs if you like.
This prize doesn't have to be claimed on Valentine's Day; there are lots of date options throughout the year. Take a look at the multiple ways you can enter below. Good luck!
