Royal Wedding Competition – The Great British Weekend! COMPETITION NOW CLOSED

Newsflash…..There is a rather notable and exciting event happening this weekend – apart from World Whisky Day…….the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Ms Megan Markle, of course! The glittering and momentous event, which has unsurprisingly attracted worldwide attention, will take place this Saturday 19th May at St.George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle, where the Prince was christened. The service will begin at 12pm, when those who haven’t been lucky enough to be personally invited to attend the ceremony can watch proceedings on a choice of TV channels.

Whilst the Duke of Cambridge is (understandably) fulfilling his duties as best-man at his younger brother’s side, and missing the FA Cup final to be there, many of us have got other things that we are committed to do on Saturday afternoon – I am one of those – as I will be cheering on my son in a local football tournament (not quite the FA Cup, but the enthusiasm is there!) and watching the glamorous highlights later on.

Others on the Go Walkabout Team are embracing the occasion and going all-out for the Royal Wedding by hosting their own bash, decked out in full-on red, white and blue of course, and with wedding nibbles and bubbly on hand to raise a toast to the couple’s health!

Whatever you are planning to do, the UK weather map for Saturday is encouraging for the majority of us – with most of Britain forecast dry and sunny weather.

To celebrate this upcoming weekend – however you are spending it – we have got a competition where you can win a gorgeous commemorative tankard pictured at the top of this page, created by the prestigious Rye Pottery, based in the picturesque and historic town of Rye, in East Sussex – just along the coast from us, in fact! Rye Pottery have had the honour of being the official suppliers to many Royal occasions, including the wedding of Charles and Diana. The decorative, yet functional tankard is part of a limited-edition run in soft cobalt-blue on white, and is a fitting tribute to the couple themselves and this historic Great British occasion.  Visit the website of Rye Pottery, to see more about them and their great-quality Made and Designed in Britain products.

To be in with a chance of winning, you can choose to enter on either Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. We would like to see a picture of what you have gotten up to this weekend – whether it’s involved a celebration of the Royal Wedding or something completely different – from donning Megan and Harry masks and dressing your pet up in a patriotic fashion, to a relaxing and recuperative walk in the great British countryside to enjoy the sunshine – we would love to see what you have been up to, and share the pictures as a celebration of the Great British Weekend!

If you’re currently away from the UK, and have your own exciting weekend plans, then we would love to see what you are up to too, but one of the conditions is that the prize must be shipped to a UK address.
