In August Howard Centre ran a competition for the opportunity to win two tickets to the Herts Jazz Festival that took place from 19th to 21st August at Campus West in Welwyn Garden City. The festival showcased the talents of jazz artists, provided interesting insights into the world of jazz singing and included musician master classes. Performers over the three days included pianist Jason Robello, saxophonist Tim Garland, guitar genius Martin Taylor and a masterclass from Mark Fletcher.
The winner of the two tickets was Carolyn Woodland who was delighted with her win!
Shopping Spree Competition Winner
As part of our Spring/Summer fashion event, we ran a competition to win £500 to spend in the Howard Centre, with personal TV personality Wendy Elsmore.
The lucky winner, Helen Giles was absolutely delighted with her prize. Helen said "I am a regular shopper at the Howard Centre and entered this competition without really thinking that I would ever have a hope of winning it. I was so excited to to find out that I had won £500 worth of shopping vouchers and even more so meeting Wendy Elsmore and having her expertise and enthusiasm with me all day. The shopping spree was so much fun. I have never spent £500 so quickly. Wendy did a wonderful job of understanding what I wanted and what suited me and has really helped me to move away from my "safe" baggy everyday clothes."
Helen added:
"I managed to get a whole new summer wardrobe from head to toe, including make up from Boots, shoes from Clarks, a dress and tops from Monsoon, jewellery from Accessorize, underwear from M&S and skirts and jeans from Dorothy Perkins! The timing was brilliant as I am off on holiday soon! Thankyou to the Howard Centre for giving me a wonderful day of pure extravagance and fun!"

Orient Express Competition Winner
Howard Centre recently ran a competition to win a day trip on the Orient Express. Entries had to be completed on line via the centre's website. The Centre's Marketing Manager Shirley Harper said: "The response to the competition was overwhelming with over 27,000 entries. There is something about the Orient Express which seems to capture people's imagination which made the prize very desirable."
The lucky winner Lindsay Petcher was absolutely delighted with her prize and says her dilemma is whether to take her boyfriend or her dad who are both very keen to be invited!
