Competition | Win a VIP package to The Good Life Experience

Lottie Storey February 21, 2018

A VIP package to The Good Life Experience is the prize up for grabs for the winning designer of our fifth patch

These are our four happiness patches. Each one is a visual reminder of the things that can help us find greater contentment – whether it’s being active, connecting with friends, learning something new or taking time to notice the little things.

 

Buy The Simple Things happiness patches

You can buy one, two, three or all four patches here â€“ to keep or to give; spread the joy and share the fun.

 

Design our fifth patch

Our fifth patch – currently blank – is all about giving. Doing something nice for someone or getting involved in your community can make you feel good and help you to build strong relationships with those around you. So, how would you capture the art of giving in a patch? You have until 16 April to get creative! Our downloadable PDF has all the instructions you need to enter, including a patch template that shows you the exact size the finished patch will be.

 

The prize

The winning design will be turned into a sew-on patch. We’ll add it to our collection of patches to buy and give, and all the profits will go to charity. The lucky winner also gets a VIP package to The Good Life Experience festival in September, including festival tickets for four, camping accommodation and tickets to The Simple Things Picnic Feast. If you’re not lucky enough to win, or want to find out more, details and early bird tickets for The Good Life Experience are already on sale here.

 

The small print

The closing date for entering is 11.59pm on 16 April 2018. The winner will be chosen after this date from all complete entries emailed, and notified soon after. The prize includes four tickets to both The Good Life Experience and The Simple Things Picnic Feast, as well as festival accommodation in a four-person bell tent. The prize can’t be transferred or swapped for cash, and it doesn’t include travel costs – you’ll need to make your own way there and back. Oh, and the judges’ decision is final. You can find more terms and conditions here. Good luck!

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.
