THE Warrington Guardian has teamed up with Golden Square for our biggest competition of 2020 – the chance to win a share of a £2,000 giveaway.

The town centre shopping centre, home to big name stores such as Next, Primark, Debenhams and the Disney Store among others, is offering Guardian readers the opportunity to scoop a £500 gift card to spend there.

And the great news is that you have four chances to win!

We will be giving away four Golden Square gift cards worth £500 – with one lucky winner announced each Thursday over the next four weeks.

Golden Square Shopping Centre director Ian Cox said: “This year has been so tough for everyone, and we wanted to give something back to our loyal customers to say thank you for supporting retail in Warrington. Staying local and supporting the town centre is more important than ever.

"The new market has opened and looks fantastic, and really adds to what we are trying to do within Warrington to keep improving the experience for customers.

"We employ 100s of local people across all of our retailers at Golden Square as well as those working directly for the centre itself, so it’s vital that customers continue to stay here in Warrington to support those local branches and help protect jobs as much as possible.”

The competition is part of our Guardian Back Our Businesses campaign, launched during lockdown to encourage readers to shop locally and support Warrington traders who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Hayley Smith, editor of the Warrington Guardian, added: “We have supported businesses as much as possible throughout the pandemic with our in-depth campaign coverage in the newspaper and on our website each week, but as lockdown restrictions have started to ease it’s important we now do our bit to help encourage people to return to our town centre businesses too.

“We are grateful to Golden Square Shopping Centre for supporting our reader competition with a fantastic £2,000 prize total – our biggest giveaway this year.

“Good luck to everyone who takes the time to enter."
