While you won't know what colour or items you get inside, the mystery box is worth grabbing.
Each mystery box have a minimum value of £500 RRP worth of Le Creuset items, and are guaranteed to include at least one piece of Cast Iron cookware.
The total minimum amount you'll have to spend to get a box comes to £210 which includes your ticket, sale item costs and the mystery box price.
But considering that just one Le Creuset casserole dish usually retails for £239, it's well worth the money.

Fans of the brand went wild on social media over the news and begged Le Creuset to bring it to other locations.

Another commented: "Wait please do London!"
"No I NEED this," penned a third.

Top kitchen trends for 2025
Josie Medved, Design Manager for Symphony Group, has shared her insights on what she predicts will be big news for 2025.
Matt finishes
In 2025, the focus shifts to more matt textures, which offer a sleek, sophisticated look that complements modern kitchen designs. A matt finish is low-maintenance, perfect for families and busy lifestyles.
Textured cabinets
Surfaces with a textured finish have become increasingly popular this year and 2025 will see them adding visual interest, feature focal points and even sound absorption in the kitchen. Ribbed effects will be particularly on trend.
Pocket doors
When entertaining in an open-plan space, it's nice to hide away all the cooking clutter and washing-up without having to leave the kitchen. Pocket doors are space-saving and flexible for different needs.
Caramel colours
After the recent surge of interest in yellow kitchens, Caramel cabinetry is the next colour trend that is set to be a huge hit in 2025. Adding warmth and lightness to a space with limited natural light, this tone is uplifting and inviting, and it looks super-glam when teamed with contrasting Black.
Mix and match
Whether it's to create a statement look in an otherwise neutral scheme or simply to introduce two favourite colours to the kitchen, taking a mix and match approach is set to be the look in 2025. For an eye-catching design, grey or white cabinets around the room are the perfect complement to a standout island in a more daring shade such as Dusky Pink or Hunter Green.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "OMG it's happening."
"I will sell my soul to make it please,' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "I can't physically contain my excitement I have been checking my emails the last 2 days."

Lions squad take over Sydney bar and break into song as stunned fans watch on
Lions squad take over Sydney bar and break into song as stunned fans watch on Andy Farrell's men were in the mood for celebrating despite losing the final Test to the Wallabies The Lions squad celebrated their series win with a sing-song (Image: Joe Hare/ TikTok: @ The British & Irish Lions celebrated their series win over Australia in style by taking over a hotel bar in Sydney and breaking into song as stunned fans watched on. Andy Farrell's squad became the first Lions tourists since 2013 to win their Test series, with victories over the Wallabies in Brisbane and Melbourne seeing them secure the trophy after also winning all of their other games on Australian soil. However, that run ended as they were denied a historic 3-0 whitewash, with Australia deservedly winning an eventful final Test in Sydney. The disappointment of defeat in the third Test seemingly didn't last for long, however, as the following day saw Farrell's men celebrate as they popped in to the popular Coogee Bay Hotel for a spot of lunch. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. According to fans who were also in the hotel bar on Sunday, the team stayed there in the afternoon and provided some entertainment as they broke out into a sing-song. Content cannot be displayed without consent With Wales star Jac Morgan at the heart of the action alongside captain Maro Itoje, the tourists rallied off classics like Oasis' Wonderwall and Adele's Someone Like You at full volume, with videos of their efforts soon circulating on social media. Article continues below The team also sang traditional Scottish folk song The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond, as they did while sat out on the pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground following the second Test, having just clinched the series. Wales and Lions fan Joe Hare was in the bar at the same time as the players, with his videos of their singing already shared on TikTok by the likes of England star Marcus Smith. Content cannot be displayed without consent Joe's clip of the team's rendition of The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond - which saw forwards like Morgan, Jamie George, Itoje and Will Stuart join in - was accompanied with the caption: "Pack weight, 900kg. Vocal range, questionable." Meanwhile, he added that "the only strong than [the Lions'] scrum is their pub version of Wonderwall post-win," with his clips already viewed tens of thousands of times on TikTok. Content cannot be displayed without consent "They came in for lunch and stayed in the afternoon," Joe, who is from Cardiff but lives in New Zealand, told WalesOnline. "They were really great to the fans and a real energy. It was a pretty awesome experience and it's been a great trip." After losing in the final Test, Farrell admitted that it "might take one or two beers" for his players to understand what they had achieved on tour, as he described the experience as "the time of our lives". Content cannot be displayed without consent 'There's frustration because we wanted to win every game, but the best team won here,' the head coach said. 'It might take one or two beers, but they should be unbelievably proud of what they've achieved on this tour. 'It's been the time of our lives. I know it sounds a bit dramatic, but it's the truth. We got to create a special memory together. I'm unbelievably proud to be associated with this group. Article continues below 'This has been a long time in the planning - the best eight weeks of our lives," he added. "Lions tours are tough, and to do what we did last week and put the series in the bag, upon reflection after tonight, I'm sure we'll be super proud of the achievement.'

Holidaymakers 'baffled' as they accidentally rent ENTIRE wedding venue in beautiful destination for JUST £300
A pair of Australian holidaymakers found themselves in an extraordinary situation after checking into a lavish wedding venue instead of a hotel during a trip to Italy. Matt Hey, a content creator from Sydney known on TikTok as @ shared the mishap with his followers in a viral video that has since amassed over 8 million views. He and his partner had just arrived in Sorrento after touring through London, Rome, and Pisa when they moved on to what they believed was a high-end hotel. The video, which follows the couple's surreal check-in experience at Villa Antiche Mura Relais, is accompanied by a caption that reads: 'We accidentally booked an entire wedding venue thinking it was a regular hotel.' In the clip, Matt narrates their arrival through a long stone path lined with manicured gardens, trees and colourful flowers. He noted the 'nice and peaceful' atmosphere of the grounds, though he admitted he'd thought: 'I'm baffled. This is a bit weird. I've not seen anyone yet.' Things got stranger when they reached what Matt initially thought was a reception building, only to find a villa resembling someone's private home. After walking around the property, they were met with a cliffside terrace featuring white lanterns, linen-draped tables, and what appeared to be a wedding setup. As they continued exploring, they discovered an outdoor dance floor complete with a bar, white tables and ivory drapes across the ceiling. Not completely convinced at the time, Matt recalled: 'I'm all spaced out. I'm like, maybe this is a common area and there must be little villas.' He explained that their only check-in interaction involved a staff member taking a photo of their passports and handing over a single key - no front desk and no other guests. Inside, the villa was decked out with more formal tables, and after the staff casually asked the couple which one they'd like to use, that's when it clicked that it was a wedding venue. Matt hilariously concluded: 'We could have done something with this - but darling, I could have done with the Mercure! I didn't need all this!' In a caption below the video, Matt admitted: 'Trust us to not read the description properly. we thought we were checking into a hotel or resort.. turns out it's a private wedding venue and there's no one else in sight!' The video drew some skepticism online, with some viewers accusing Matt of staging the clip to promote the venue, though he dismissed the claims in a follow-up clip, insisting the mistake was genuine. He reiterated that he and his partner spent AU$600 (around £290) per night through Expedia for a two-night stay in a Classic Balcony Room at the venue, treating themselves after travelling 'relatively frugally' earlier in their European adventure. Matt reiterated that he and his partner spent $600 AUD (around £260) per night through Expedia for a two-night stay in a Classic Balcony Room at the venue While the setting was evidently stunning, Matt noted there were no staff for the bar, no room service, and no easy access to restaurants or shops. He also mentioned that he and his partner may have been able to book the venue as he claimed it's 'bad luck' in Italy to wed on Tuesdays, which is the day the couple had checked in. On Villa Antiche Mura Relais' website, a description reads: 'The Villa offers different romantic settings for your Sorrento wedding reception and special event. 'Completely equipped for all the celebrations, we will personalize everything you desire with care and attention to details. Always at your disposal for all your requests. We are sure to make your special day memorable!' 4,000 viewers were left both amused and bewildered as they shared their thoughts in the comments The Daily Mail has reached out to Villa Antiche Mura Relais for further comment. Meanwhile, 4,000 viewers were left both amused and bewildered as they shared their thoughts in the comments, as one wrote: 'I'd be checking my email to make sure I booked it for $600 and not $6,000 or $60,000.' Another commented: 'Someone who wanted the venue for the same date is watching this like...'

It comes at the perfect time when families struggle for ideas during the holidays TV TREAT Millions of Sky and Fire TV Stick users receive free upgrade this month to keep the kids entertained over the holidays Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEW addition for Sky and Fire TV Stick users will get everyone in the family moving. Customers of the Amazon TV extension and subscribers to Sky will now get access to a free upgrade which comes just in time for the summer holidays. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The new Mvmnt Family platform will be available to millions of Brits this summer Credit: Amazon & Sky 3 The exercise programs will be available on Fire TV Sticks and Google TV Credit: Alamy The UK-based digital fitness platform, Mvmnt, has now launched Mvmnt Family which is designed to help families to get active together with short videos that everyone can follow. Mvmnt is offering new customers to its app an one-month free trial throughout August. That will also include access to the Mvmnt Family workouts for the entire school holidays, online and on TV including via Sky, Amazon Fire, and Google TV. All of the Mvmnt Family programs are very user friendly each workout runs for less than 10 minutes and no equipment is needed. What's even better is the sessions are led by a coach and child exercising side-by-side on screen so that everyone feels comfortable getting involved. There's also plenty of sessions to choose from including strength, yoga, HIIT, football and balance. The Mvmnt Family programs were designed to help parents rethink exercise as a family activity. Family Moving Time The new launch comes as research reveals that almost 50 percent of parents run out of ideas for school holidays entertainment, and that only 27 percent of families do something active together just once a week or less. Many parents said they wanted to be more active with their kids but are worried how much it will cost them, and other parents say there never seems to be enough time to get moving with family during school holidays. 'Families are an underserved segment in the digital fitness space,' said Colin Griffith, Managing Director at Mvmnt. Quick look at Fire TV Stick remote and top button tips 'We saw an opportunity to support parents who are time-poor, stressed, and want a shared active experience that benefits everyone in the house – not just the kids.' Be Warned The free upgrade comes after Fire TV Stick users were warned about illegal streaming devices, including dodgy versions of the TV extension. The Federation Against Copyright Theft warned this could lead to users having their ID stolen or their credit card details handed to criminals. Posts have begun flooding social media sites advertising modified Fire Sticks for just a few pounds. Some posts advertised all Sky channels plus streaming sites such as Netflix and Disney Plus for as little as £2.50 a month. Kieron Sharp, chairman of the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) said dodgy Fire Stick users are breaking the law too, and could end up being prosecuted. According to FACT, watching an illegal stream is an offence under the Fraud Act 2006, and has a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
