Win a Bristol shopping spree
Bristol's Broadmead shopping centre has just had a £11 million facelift - and to celebrate, a lucky reader can win a £1,000 shopping spree during which they can see the improvements for themselves.
Our winner and the companion of their choice will be taken to Broadmead in a chauffeur-driven white stretch limousine from The Limo People, who will also be providing a celebration bottle of bubbly.

After being greeted in Broadmead by manager John Hirst and being presented with £800 in Broadmead shopping vouchers, our winner and their companion will go to Debenhams for a full English breakfast on a specially decorated table.
Then John Hirst will take them on a tour of the extensive improvements, which include new paving, landscaping, lighting, street furniture and upgraded shopfronts.
Next stop will be Café Amore for freshly-brewed coffee and pastries, followed by an opportunity to visit the shops and maybe spend some of the £800 Broadmead vouchers.
Lunch will be at award-winning Italian restaurant Bottelinos, where our winner and their companion can choose a meal and a drink from the renowned lunchtime pizza and pasta menu.
At Debenhams, our winner will be presented with a £200 Debenhams voucher, and can also have a facial and makeover from one of the store's resident make-up artists, and get advice from the Debenhams personal shopper.
Finally, our winner and their companion will be taken back home in the chauffeur-driven white stretch limousine from The Limo People.
The £1,000 Broadmead shopping spree will take place on Friday February 13. The prize is part of the 'We Love Broadmead' celebrations that will take place on Valentine's Day, Saturday February 14, to mark the official launch of the improvements in Broadmead.
To enter, all you have to do is let us know why you love Broadmead. Do you have happy memories of shopping there? Does it bring back recollections because you used to work there? Is it where you met your husband or wife, or a special friend?
Or are you delighted with the way Broadmead looks following the recent improvements?
The winner will be the entry considered to be most deserving by a judging panel from the Bristol Post and Broadmead. The winner must be available to spend a day at Broadmead on Friday February 13.
There will also be special Valentine's goodie bags for four runners-up, containing heart shaped beauty products from Lush, Valentine's candles from Birthdays, heart-themed goodies from M&S, a pampering kit from Boots and a pack of Love Hearts sweets.

“Everyone Loves Broadmead
You can sit and read
There is no time for bores as there are over 300 stores
In the Galleries you can spend your salaries
In Debenhams take the weight off your feet
Have a hot chocolate and cake as a treat
The Blitz it survived
Now Broadmead's revived
Everyone loves Broadmead!
My fondest memory was as a child my mum would take me to Broadmead as a treat
We would go to Next and have a hot chocolate, eat in BHS and shop till we dropped.
I would be given £12 a month for my clothes allowance. However when choosing clothes I would always ask is that my money - or yours (to my Mum) it would always be my Mums money - not my allowance !
A trip to Broadmead was always a treat !!”
