£1,000 Cash Prize Winner Announced in Continuum Attractions’ Summer Giveaway

Jemma Witcombe is celebrating after winning £1,000 in one of Continuum Attractions’ biggest-ever giveaways, with her entry selected at random from around 20,000.

The online competition ran as part of Continuum Attractions’ summer campaign, coinciding with the Government’s Great British Summer of Savings scheme, which saw discounted tickets offered to help more people enjoy memorable days out. The £1,000 cash prize added an extra reason to get involved, and it was Jemma, who entered through the Coronation Street Experience website, who was selected as the lucky winner.

Jemma had entered while planning a trip to Manchester, inspired by her love of the iconic soap and the childhood memories it brings back.

“I used to watch Coronation Street as a little girl with my grandparents, and my nan never missed an episode,” Jemma explained. “While I've lost track of Corrie over recent years, we really wanted a reason to get back into it. I came across the competition as I was planning a trip to Manchester and, as I love Corrie, I wanted to book the Coronation Street Experience whilst there.”

Following her win, Jemma and her family were invited to enjoy a special Star Tour at the Coronation Street Experience on Sunday 25th October, as an added extra to celebrate her success.

The family were welcomed by their guide, Tony, who shared fascinating behind-the-scenes facts and entertaining stories about the long-running soap. The visit also included a particularly special moment for Jemma: meeting actress Kate Ford, who plays her all-time favourite character, Tracy Barlow, and having the opportunity to take a photograph with her during a Star Tour.

For Jemma, the experience offered an opportunity to share her childhood connection to Coronation Street with her own daughter.

“Winning this means so much to us as a family. It gives us a wonderful chance to experience the magic of the street together, and it's incredibly special to share this with our daughter and introduce her to the experience as well,” she said.

Reflecting on the family’s visit, Jemma added: “From the moment we arrived at the Coronation Street Experience, we were made to feel so welcome and special until the time we left. It was such a magical experience and I loved every minute of it.”

Congratulations to Jemma on her £1,000 win! With 19,350 entries, the giveaway was a fantastic highlight of Continuum Attractions’ summer campaign, celebrating visitors and helping more families make lasting memories.
