TO celebrate the opening of its expanded travel department The Grove Bookshop in Ilkley is offering customers the chance to win a £50 voucher to spend in store.

Manager Mike Sansbury said: "We have made some changes to the shop in order to accommodate a new, improved travel department. We are expanding our range of maps and guides and are now selling globes and framed maps. To make room for this we have moved Travel to our basement, taking up part of Grove Music.

"To mark the launch, we are having a travel writing competition which is open to all customers. The prize is a £50 voucher for Grove Books and Music, and in order to stand a chance of winning you will need to write up to 500 words telling us all about your favourite journey, or your favourite travel book.

"Just email us at info@grovebookshop.co.uk or drop your entry into the shop. The closing date for entries is Friday, May 31 and the one we like best will win the voucher.

"The judges’ decision is final and we are unable to return entries."
