This year, why not show mum your appreciation for all she does by inspiring her to take up a new skill or hobby? Better still, you could do so for free if you win our Mother’s day competition. We’re offering a choice of fabulous courses available from local experts here in Oxfordshire. Each prize consists of a single place on the course - so that your mum (or guardian) can enjoy learning something new just for herself!
Choose between specialist cookery, thanks to the culinary geniuses at Rivergrass Cookery School, or beginners’ Italian, courtesy of The Italian Experience Cotswold.
Sound good? For your chance to win, simply tell us about a food that reminds you of your mum OR a favourite memory from a holiday you've shared together - you can be as creative as you like. Enter below (please include your phone number if possible!) or email us on [email protected]
