THE Festive Gift Fair is a vibrant four-day Christmas shopping experience perfectly timed four weeks before the big day.

It opens at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, on Thursday, November 21 and runs until Sunday, November 24.

And the Shuttle/Times and News has joined forces with the organisers to give away tickets worth £160 in an easy to enter competition.

The fair has earned a fantastic reputation among dedicated Christmas shoppers as the place to go to find the most special presents for all the family, all under one roof.

Now in its seventh successful year, The Festive Gift Fair always proves popular with dedicated Christmas shoppers.

Last year, more than 29,000 shopping enthusiasts visited the event.

It is a fabulous festive day out with carol singers, live music and themed catering to fill visitors with festive cheer.

Tickets are available from The NEC Box Office on 0121 767 4151 or online £6.95 (plus transaction fee) in advance. Concessions are available and the Shuttle/Times and News has 10 pairs to the seasonal event to give away exclusively on this website.

Tickets are valid for the Thursday or Friday of the show.
