OUR BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY: Win a family trip to Alton Towers with Midland Travel

TheJournal.ie is five years old this month so we’re giving readers the chance to win some great prizes.

THIS MONTH, TheJournal.ie turns five years old – and we want to give something back to our readers.

Every single day for the month of October we’re giving away a different prize. It’s our way of saying a very big thanks to all of you for reading us (can you believe it’s been five years? Cos we can’t).

From small beginnings back in October 2010, TheJournal.ie has grown to be one of the biggest news websites in the country.

The two-day trip is for a family of four and includes a ferry to Holyhead, one night in a hotel, a day at Waterworld and a day at Alton Towers.

Alton Towers is one of the biggest theme parks in England with some of the most exciting rides in Europe, including Nemesis, Oblivion, Air and Thi3teen. The nearby Waterworld is a tropical-themed water park with slides, wave pool, rides and flumes, which is fun for all the family.

The prize is courtesy of Midland Travel, one of Ireland’s leading travel agents catering for holidays worldwide and flights to all destinations.
