ANNUAL FAMILY PASSES TO WARWICK CASTLE; WIN pounds 26,000 IN PRIZES STILL UP FOR GRABS.. A luxury golfing break worth pounds 500.

We've teamed up with Warwick Castle to help you banish boredom for a whole year!

We've got five Warwick Castle Family Privilege Passes up for grabs, giving our thrill seeking five highest bidders 12 months of completely free access to Warwick Castle - heralded as Britain's best day out in history.

And the castle didn't earn this accolade by accident - over the coming weeks and months alone, our highest bidders will get unlimited access to a seemingly endless series of spooky shenanigans and festive frivolities.

The haunted half-term season starts from October 25 to November 2 and brave souls will be able to wind their way through the Castle's spooky ghost trail and into the ghost tower - a chilling live action, spook experience.

Alon with year round access for two adults and up to three children, pass holders get discounted entrance for other friends, 20 per cent off shops and restaurants, 10 per cent off feasts and suppers, exclusive offers, invitations to events and free parking.

HOW TO PLAY

EACH day we will print Mail Money vouchers in your Mail. Your vouchers do not have to be from different day's newspapers and will vary daily in denominations between pounds 10 and pounds 100.

The aim is to collect as much as you can. Cut out your Mail Money and keep it until you find something you want to bid for.

Each day in the paper from today we will feature an item which you can win by making the highest bid.

BONUS MAIL MONEY

THERE are bonus Mail Money notes online at birminghammail.net. You can use the bonus Mail Money by simply visiting the website and printing off your note. You can use a total of three notes from online. But keep checking back as the value of the note changes every day!
