Competition | Win a set of National Trust books

David Parker July 4, 2025

Spend more time doing the things you love – whether that’s creating a stunning green space, bringing delicious food to your table, or exploring the great outdoors – with your very own collection of National Trust books.

Summer is a fantastic time to get stuck into a new book, which is why we’re offering three lucky winners a collection of National Trust books worth over £100!

With the warmer weather approaching, discover Britain’s most unique and unexpected destinations with 100 Secret Walks. Spend some time enjoying nature and explore the wonderful world of butterflies, shells, and pebbles with beautifully illustrated pocket-sized guides. Learn how to welcome wildlife to your green space to benefit the planet and boost your sense of wellbeing.

We all love a good pie, and with tips on making the perfect pastry every time, The National Trust Book of Pies is full of guaranteed crowd pleasers for your next summer picnic. For the armchair traveller and food-lover, discover the surprising stories and facts behind the foods that make Britain great with Jenny Linford’s fascinating Great British Food Tour.

Have you ever wanted to know the stories behind the National Trust’s most treasured objects and places? Accompanying the successful BBC series, Hidden Treasures of the National Trust uncovers unseen treasures in the Trust’s care, celebrating the skills and passion of the people who look after these objects. This book is a treasure chest of intriguing and inspiring history that’s just waiting to be opened.

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.
