Retrieving your prize: A lot of our prizes are vouchers which can be sent via email or messenger. Some items items will be available for collection from The Retreat, so please bear this in mind when entering! There will be no rush and we can keep hold of your item for as long as you like, as long as it isn't perishable. However, we will accept a donation to cover the cost of postage if you are prepared to do so - again liaising with the organisers.
