Hovis Despicable Me 3 promotion
Hovis have launched a new purchase-necessary promotion, with a chance to win a fabulous five night family break to New York! There are also ten thousand Despicable Me 3 magnet sets to be won.
Watch my YouTube guide to entering…
The prizes
- The grand prize is a five night trip to New York for a family of up to four – including £1000 spending money, a tour of the Natural History Museum, custom Minions science show and a make your own ice-cream experience
- In addition, up to 84 sets of fridge magnets will be given away in a prize draw each day (10,000 in total)
How to enter
- Buy a promotional Hovis Best of Both/Soft White loaf
- Go to http://www.hovisdespicableme3.com
- Enter your house number and postcode, then enter the code from the gold tag on your loaf
- Complete your name and address details

Each person can only enter once every seven days – although it’s fine to enter for a different person at the same postal address! It’s no purchase necessary for both ROI and NI residents – you can enter online without a code.
The confusing T&Cs state: “New York prize is for up to 4 travellers (1 traveller must be 21yrs+, plus 3 x 15yrs or under OR 2 x 15yrs and under and 1 x 16yrs+)” – so what’s that all about?
Hovis have given two examples of four travellers (two adults + two under 16s, one adult + three under 16s) but as it also states ‘up to’ four, so I presume 1 adult with two children, or two adults with 1 child would also be fine – and probably two adults alone (although the PR agency would no doubt be rather unimpressed with childless travellers!)
Magnet winners are chosen in a daily prize draw and contacted by email within 48 hours. The New York winner will be chosen at random after the closing date of 24th September 2017.
Good luck if you take part – let me know if you win a set of magnets (or indeed the trip to NY!)


Anyone know if you need a new code each time to enter? Or will the same one work next time?
We tried to enter but the website just kept telling us that the “Code hadn’t been recognized” and wouldn’t let us go any further, despite the fact that the bread had been bought only yesterday! There is nothing we can do to get the website to except it and no contact details for the competition. My son is very disappointed…
You can contact them and ask for a new code at http://hovis.co.uk/talk-to-us – good luck!
I have done so and am awaiting a reply – thanks
Got my magnets this morning along with a voucher for a free loaf, nice surprise!
