Residents are being invited to a free night of food, entertainment and prizes on the shores of Windermere.

Blackpool-based prize company Elite Competitions is joining forces with Boaters Bar for an event from 6pm on Thursday, November 12.

Guests aged 18 and over will receive a welcome drink and pizza, while prizes on offer include £1,000 in cash, a £500 Low Wood Bay Spa voucher and a technology bundle worth £600.

The event is being held as Elite Competitions looks to introduce itself to the Lake District community alongside its latest competition.

The company says the competition includes a property in Windermere, a MasterCraft wakeboarding boat, a Defender Octa and £100,000 in cash.

Alex Beckett, CEO and founder of Elite Competitions, said: "We cannot wait to come to Windermere and meet the local community.

"We know the Lake District is a special place, with our latest dream home competition bringing us to the area, we wanted to do something a little different and give people the opportunity to come along, enjoy themselves and hopefully win something whilst there.

"It is all about having fun, meeting new people and putting on a great evening for the community. We would love to see as many people as possible join us."

Olivia Hartley, marketing manager at Boaters Bar, said: "We absolutely love bringing exciting events and unforgettable experiences to our local community and visitors alike.

"Creating special moments, bringing people together and making memories is what Boaters is all about."

Elite Competitions was founded in 2016 and appeared on BBC's Dragons' Den in 2018.

The company says it has given away more than £149 million in prizes to date.
