George Clarke's More Amazing Spaces #Giveaway #Competition #Prize @Truedor @MrGeorgeClarke


Published in October to coincide with the launch of the fourth Amazing Spaces series, this second tie-in book showcases more of George Clarke's extraordinary small builds from all over the country. He shows how amazingly unexpected small spaces can be adapted into really workable living areas.
Combining the eccentric and the inspirational with practical information directly from the projects' creators, the book will appeal not only to those dreaming of a get-away & for example in a deceptively cosy tin tent & but to everyone who wants to make the most of the space at home or in the garden, such as converting a basement into a casino. With stunning photography showcasing projects from Series 2 and 3 and highlighting their most intriguing features as well as advice and style tips, the book features more than 20 previously unpublished home, garden, holiday and work spaces.


I'm not going to lie. I have a very large, very soft spot for George Clarke - I love his Channel 4 programme and always watch in amazement and fascination. He discovers the most extraordinary people who make the most incredible places to live in and to work in, and to have fun in.

I'm delighted to be working with Trudor today; George Clarke is their ambassador, to offer one reader of Random Things to opportunity to win a signed copy of George Clarke's latest book; More Amazing Spaces.

It's a beautifully presented hardback book, full of fabulous colour photographs.
The spaces range from a mobile cinema in the back of a Bedford bus to a basement casino.

Also up for grabs is a £20 Amazon Gift Voucher.

Entry is simple, just leave a comment at the bottom of this post and tell me where your favourite space is. UK ENTRIES ONLY PLEASE

  1. My favourite space is on a roof top terrace at a hotel in Karnak, Egypt. It over looks the Nile and the valley of the Kings. We used to go quite often for many years but sadly its harder to get there but used to love sitting up there with a book and a glass of wine.

  2. My favourite space is my renovated bedroom. It now has exposed beams and is a lovely tranquil reading space that used to be the storeroom of the village shop.

  3. The time I lived on a horse farm in a caravan. Watching the squirrels run across the fields and unhook the bags of nuts I used to put out for the birds, then run back across the fields with them.

  5. My favourite space is the memorial gardens in Wicksteed Park, Kettering. The park was given to the children of Kettering by Charles Wicksteed. Some of my Dads ashes are buried there. They have benches there to sit on for quiet contemplation.

  6. My favourite space is outside, in Arizona. The desert there is stunning with the large saguaro cactus towering over the other vegetation, it is incredibly peaceful and very special. I have never been anywhere quite like it, I could sit for hours just watching the view, I'd have to sit in the shade to avoid the hot sun and a good book would top it all off nicely.

  7. My favourite space is in my bedroom, sitting by the window with a good book and watching my Smokey (cat) enjoy rolling and running about in the grass.

  8. My favourite space (and I know this will sound corny, but it's true) is wherever my husband is with me. We've been through so much together and nowhere feels right without him!

  11. I love the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Each time we go it's changed. You don't know what you'll find as you walk round a corner or through a wooded area

  12. My favourite space is in my 'orange room' it's a little conservatory we've just had built that's painted orange and houses a bookcase and two chairs. A place for tranquility ��
