How 49p could bag you a Lytham St Annes beach hut for the whole summer
If you've been to Lytham St Annes you will have seen the row of iconic beach huts on the sea front.
Since arriving in 2012 the huts have welcomed more than half a million visitors, who love having a base for their day trip to the much-loved seaside town.
Equipped with electricity and a fitted kitchen, along with a table and chairs, they've become a huge hit with families and groups looking to hire them out for a get together or celebration.

With the best fish and chips on the doorstep and the option to order afternoon tea straight to your hut, it's hardly surprising they've been such a success.
And now the owner of the huts is giving one lucky person the chance to win one of the huts for the entire summer.
With just a 49p entry fee, the winner of the competition shared on the Beach Competitions website here, will have exclusive use of a hut from July 1 to September 1, 2025.

All you have to do is answer a simple question and submit your entry, costing 49 pence per ticket.
It comes after beach hut owner Stuart Robertson decided to launch the competitions website to help families make memories together. Others running on the site include the chance to win a four-night break in the nearby St Annes Beach Apartments, which they also own.
"It started with small prizes like a beach hut with champagne afternoon tea, an apartment getaway with spending money, that kind of thing," said Stuart. "But now we're ramping things up and launching our biggest giveaway yet - a beach hut for summer 2025.
"The winner gets exclusive use of their very own hut from July 1 to September 1. That's two whole months to make it theirs - picnics, seaside days, afternoon teas, you name it. It's something people ask me about constantly, booking a hut for the whole summer, or even owning one, so I'm buzzing to finally be able to say 'yes'."
He added: "I know there are a lot of competition sites out there now, but this one's really rooted in our story. The idea is to give people more of what they love about the beach huts - and create some once-in-a-lifetime seaside memories along the way."
Deadline for entries is 6.45pm on Friday, May 2, but the company reserves the right to extend it depending on the number of tickets sold.
You can book one beach hut for the day for groups of up to six people from £135. For more details on the beach huts, visit the website here.

Why Splatoon Raiders already has my full attention
In a very unceremonious move, Nintendo announced an upcoming Switch 2 game not at a Direct or in an official press release, but on the Nintendo Today App. Alongside a load of details on a new Splatoon 3 update coming on June 12, including its Switch 2 performance boost, we also got a tiny teaser of the first official spinoff game in the Splatoon universe: Splatoon Raiders. While details are incredibly scarce right now, there are some big hints at the new direction this game will take that have me very excited. Recommended Videos A constantly evolving franchise Even though Nintendo is calling Splatoon Raiders the first official spinoff — and this is technically true as a stand-alone product — it is far from the first time Splatoon has ventured into other genres. The core three games are multiplayer shooters, of course, but at this point they've also branched out to include linear single player campaigns, PvE hoard mode, roguelike mode, and even a card game. Few franchises even dare to stretch themselves into that many genres. Splatoon not only did, but has proven that it can pull them off. With Splatoon Raiders, the only official description we have is that 'players will go on an adventure in the mysterious Spirhalite Islands alongside the splat-tacular Deep Cut trio.' Between that and the little bit of footage shown above, there are strong signs that this could be Splatoon's take on a survival game. The idea of expanding the Splatoon world with a larger map to explore, perhaps some base building, and a robot buddy to possibly upgrade all fit within the Splatoon ethos while experimenting with the series in fresh ways. Style and expression have been the heart of the series, so it feels like a natural evolution to expand that beyond our character and allow us to build our own little worlds. We already know how creative Nintendo can be using the ink system for traversal and platforming in the single player modes, so translating that to a more open environment with secrets and hidden challenges would be a perfect fit. Plus, the possibility of new tools for traversal and building opens up entirely new avenues for gameplay. Being a Switch 2 game, I fully expect it to take advantage of the new mouse control system in that regard. It has never been the primary focus before, but Splatoon has always had a rich (and somewhat dark) lore beneath all that bright ink and hip-hop music. Splatoon 3 did bring it a bit more to the forefront, but Splatoon Raiders being a spinoff could be a great way to test the waters for a more front-facing narrative. Splatoon Raiders has no release date now, but will be a Switch 2 exclusive.
