Competition | Win a Set of National Trust Books

Iona Bower July 7, 2026

Make more time for the things you love – whether that’s exploring the UK, bringing delicious food to your table, or discovering nature’s wonders – with your very own collection of National Trust books.

This summer we’re giving three lucky winners a bundle of National Trust books worth more than £100 each!

For the food lovers, make salads the main event at your next summer BBQ with Irresistible Salads. With over 80 flavour-packed recipes from around the world, this wonderfully varied recipe book proves that salads can be bold, satisfying and utterly delicious – not just a side dish.

If you prefer something sweet, The National Trust Book of Biscuits is full of classic and modern biscuit recipes for teatime, picnics, and everything in between.

Want to spend more time outside? Learn how to create a space you’ll cherish all year round, no matter its size, shape or location with How to Create Beautiful Flowerbeds and Borders.

Discover the bees that live all around us with bestselling author Dave Goulson’s The Bee Spotter’s Guide – perfect to pop in your bag for a day out. For fungi fans, you’ll also have the chance to win an early copy of The Fungi Spotter’s Guide!

Get ready for your next adventure in the UK with inspiring routes, scenic walks and gorgeous camping guides to help plan your trip – you’ll find the perfect antidote to fast-paced living inside Great British Journeys, 100 Classic Country Walks and Under the Stars.

There’s something for every reader in this amazing collection, so enter now for the chance to win!

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
