A FANTASTIC opportunity to drink, be merry and keep up to date with the latest local news at a bargain price awaits Evening Mail readers today.

The doors of our Millom base, at the Network Centre in Salthouse Road, will be thrown open to the public as part of our Read and Save initiative. We will be offering members of the public the chance to get a free £30 bottle of Lakes Distillery whiskey, gin or vodka when they take out an Evening Mail subscription for three months.

And here’s the best bit.

With 20 per cent off the cover price of the newspaper, it costs just £43.68. That means there’s the chance to walk away with a package worth £84.50 for almost half that price.

Worry not if you are teetotal – we also have fantastic Cranstons hampers as special gifts if the Lakes Distillery bottles don’t tickle your fancy.

Our subscriptions team will be happy to help – and answer any questions you might have.

Our team will be there between 10m and 2pm.

If you can’t make it to Millom today, don’t worry – you can also call freephone on 0808 144 8 144.
