It’s been a tough year, especially for the travel industry, with many holidays cancelled or postponed, but pop in to the village shop before Saturday and you could win your very own alpine ski lodge, complete with luxury kennel for your Labrador (other breeds are available), set in a fairytale Christmas snowscape. Featuring bejewelled gables, electric lighting and hot and cold running water* this lodge looks good enough to eat…which in fact it is, as it has been lovingly crafted entirely in gingerbread by the renowned Polopit architect – Angie Snelling. For your chance to win this fabulous creation, why not break open the piggy bank and head up to the village shop where we have many raffle tickets available for just 50p each. The draw for the winner will take place this weekend…

…and remember, this is not just a Christmas gingerbread house, this is a luxury, architect designed, bejewelled Christmas gingerbread house, exclusive to your village shop (and not available  in any major national retail outlet that may have a similar slogan!)

* actually, I lied about the hot and cold running water, but it does have it’s own electric lighting!
