Win £100 and VIP tickets

At Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, they love Christmas more than life itself. They get a humongous tree (the biggest in Britain), they invite loads of celebrities and pop stars to switch it on, and they'll keep their stores open until 10pm for that night.

This year, they're adding to the excitement by running a competition to win £100 to spend there, plus a pair of VIP tickets. It takes place on 13 November and will star girl, band The Saturdays plus special guests. The action starts at 5.30pm and the switch will be flicked at 7pm.

The lighting of Britain's Biggest Christmas Tree is one of the biggest events in the region. If you want to get a head start on your Christmas shopping and see a free show featuring big name stars, make sure you're there.

A trip to Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet is a top jaunt at any time of the year with great brands reduced by up to 60 per cent every day. A shopping spree there will ensure you get to grips with your Christmas present list without creating a shocking credit card bill. They've got all the big name stores from the high street and lots of designer labels as well.

It's an easy drive from Manchester – just head down the M56 then take the M53 toward Ellesmere Port, turn off at Junction 10, and follow the signs.
