Have fun and holiday at home!
According to Visit England and the Great British Tourism Survey the popular trend of taking a ‘stay-cation’, where you holiday on home soil has increased by 7 percent in the first quarter of 2011.
Yet one award winning house builder is taking ‘holidaying at home’ one step further and is encouraging its residents from any of its developments (past or present) around the region to embrace ‘stay-cation’ fever this summer!
Summer is the perfect time to take time out from daily chores and to take pleasure in our own homes and gardens and explore the area in which we live and Miller Homes, who has developments located in the Pontefract and Castleford area, is asking its residents to take photographs of their ‘stay-cation’ in their very own Miller Home!
“We are looking for innovative and creative images that tell of happy holidays but that have been snapped either in a Miller home, garden or on the development,” said Ross Clarkson sales manager Miller Homes Yorkshire. “So, we want people to dust down their beach towels, sunglasses and buckets and spades and use their imagination!”
All entries will be entered into a prize draw that will be judge during the first week of September when the lucky winner will receive £100 of B & Q vouchers to spend on their home or garden.
“Summer is all about having a little bit of fun and this will be a great opportunity to get all the family involved, including any pets!” smiled Ross. “And, when our residents have recreated that holiday mood at home, it would be a great time to invite friends over to celebrate summer in style!”
Developments within the Pontefract and Castleford area include Priory Chase located close to Pontefract town centre and Millennium Village at Allerton Bywater. Both developments offer a range of tempting properties that may suit first time buyers, families looking for large homes or those perhaps looking to down-size.
Two bedroom apartments available at Priory Chase start at just £89,500 whilst the two remaining four bedroom townhouses at Millennium Village start at a competitive £174,995.
And, with a range of plot specific purchase initiatives moving home has never been easier with Miller Homes.
All entries should be emailed to priorychase.yo@miller.co.uk or millenniumvillage.yo@miller.co.uk before 31st August 2011 giving name and address of participants and where the image was taken.
Further details of all available properties and developments in the region can be obtained by visiting millerhomes.co.uk.
