‘It's happening' shoppers scream as Le Creuset finally offers mystery box of goodies worth £500 & here's how to get them
THE famous cookery range Le Creuset has been cooking up a storm in the US by offering mystery boxes of goodies worth £500 and selling them for £50. Across the pond, Brits have been envious watching them open boxes of cast iron goodies, with limited edition designs 3 3 One woman based in the US, was thrilled to find that the mystery box she spent just £50 on contained an entire set of cast iron goodies. Not only did she get a Dutch oven, baking trays and a skillet, but the design was the sought after Olive Branch collection. And now, after years of watching these videos in a jealous rage, Brits can get their hands on them. The brand took to social media to announce that the mystery box offer was heading our way. "Something exciting (and a little mysterious) is coming to our Factory To Table Sale," they wrote. "Want in on the action? Sign up to be the first to know when tickets go live." They announced that they would finally be doing a factory-to-table sale in the UK. The sale will be held in Harrogate, Yorkshire, on September 27 and 28 with VIP and general admission tickets available to buy. VIP tickets cost £25 while general admission costs £10. The VIP ticket holders will have early access to the sale where products will be up to 60% off. I'm building my dream kitchen on a budget & bagged an £830 fridge freezer FREE - the stench was vile but it was worth it 3 If you spend over £150 in the sale you are then able to buy a mystery box of goodies for just £50 while stock lasts. 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. One person wrote: "OMG a Le Creuset mystery box is all I want as a wedding gift but I live in London and thought it wouldn't happen! Hoping this is soon!!" "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

Want to skip lines at the CNE? That will cost you $452.99
The Canadian National Exhibition is offering VIP tickets to visitors this year — but the price does not come cheap. Last week, the CNE revealed its first-ever VIP experience package, which has a jam-packed list of fun perks for visitors. The price tag, however, is not that fun. Each pass is $452.99, but passes can only be purchased in packages of four, adding up to a total of $1,811.96, according to the CNE's website. The VIP package was created after a pilot last year for fans who wanted benefits and special perks, a spokesperson for the CNE told CBC Toronto in a statement. "The VIP ticket is an optional offering for those who see the value in its benefits and unique experience. In CNE terms, it's like choosing to indulge on the four-pound taco, that is just as delicious as the $1.99 taco," said Tran Nguyen. The CNE did not clarify when asked how it arrived at the $452.99 price tag. The VIP tickets include skip the line privileges, unlimited rides, a ride fast pass, front-row seats to Bandshell performances, reserved space at the VIP Bandshell viewing area, a choice of front row and skip the line at either CNE SuperDogs or the Acrobatic Ice Skating Show, $50 in food vouchers, drink tickets, select merchandise and treats, and a CNE collector pin set. VIP pass holders can also access a dedicated concierge team to help curate experiences and accompany them on their CNE journey. Nguyen said there's been positive feedback from VIP ticket inquiries so far. "Advance ticket sales for the 2025 CNE are currently tracking in line with sales at the same time last year, and there has been a positive response from VIP ticket inquiries and quantities sold to date," said Nguyen. Advance sale ride all day passes, featuring unlimited midway rides, cost $47.24 per person. Meanwhile, standard advance sale admission passes, covering grounds admission and access to all shows and exhibits, cost $25.11 per person. Last year, the CNE welcomed nearly 1.5 million visitors, the festival said in a release. The annual summer event is in its 146th edition and is known for its over the top carnival foods, shopping, rides, and performances.

Robbie Williams fans rage at Vienna gig disaster after 'fights broke out when VIP ticket holders were rejected from their own seats' in 'dream gig turned nightmare'
Robbie Williams fans were reportedly left furious after a ticketing disaster at the singer's Vienna gig. The British pop star, 51, took to the stage to play for 55,000 fans at a sold-out show at Ernst-Happel-Stadion on Saturday night. But for fans who splashed out on top dollar VIP tickets, they were left gutted when a miscommunication at the stadium saw them rejected from the exclusive seats they had paid for. Speaking to The Mirror, fans revealed that security staff had been given the wrong information regarding wristbands and people without VIP access had been let into the Diamond zone. This meant when people who had paid VIP prices arrived, there was no room left and they were blocked from entering the area - sparking a mid-show apology from organisers. A fan told the publication: 'They turned a dream gig into a nightmare, we didn't get what we paid for — and they can't take that moment back.' Meanwhile a woman who had flown from Manchester for the sold-out gig said: 'I've never felt so ripped off, I paid top money and some random person with a cheaper ticket is standing where I should be.' People at the gig reportedly said there was total chaos at the VIP area with fans shouting and crying after being stopped from entering. MailOnline has contacted organisers for comment. Just a day after his Vienna gig, Robbie jetted off to the US where he belted out the new Official FIFA Anthem, Desire, alongside Italian singer Laura Pausini at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final. Robbie wrote and recorded the high-energy track ahead of the final, after he was confirmed as FIFA's Music Ambassador. Coldplay and Doja Cat also performed a jaw-dropping performance during the halftime show. Chelsea secured a surprise 3-0 win against PSG, with Cole Palmer scoring a brace while Joao Pedro was also on target. Co-written with long-time collaborators Karl Brazil and Owen Parker, alongside Erik Jan Grob, Robbie's track made its debut in the opening show. In a major move for FIFA, Desire will be used across all future tournaments, including the FIFA World Cup 2026 and beyond. For the first time ever, the new anthem will play as teams walk onto the pitch at every FIFA match worldwide. Described as a stadium-ready anthem packed with emotional energy, the song aims to capture the intensity, pride and unity that defines football on the global stage. In his new ambassador role, Robbie has also invited iconic Italian singer Laura to feature on the track. Speaking about the role, Robbie said: 'Music and football bring people together like nothing else - each with their own universal language of connection, emotion, spirit and community. 'When those worlds come together, there's nothing like it, and I'm beyond honoured to be the FIFA Music Ambassador. 'Football and music have both been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so this means a lot to me on a personal level.' On the inspiration behind Desire, he added: 'I've grown up watching the walk-outs, the anthems, the drama. So writing and recording the official FIFA anthem is a real privilege. 'I wanted to create something that captures all of it - the passion, the nerves, the pride and the majesty of that feeling just before kick-off. He continued: 'Football and music have always meant the world to me, and bringing them together on this kind of stage gives me goosebumps. 'I know I'll get to perform this song at some of my favourite tournaments in the coming years, which fills me with excitement. 'It's a real honour that Laura Pausini accepted my invitation to feature on the song – she's an incredible artist with the perfect voice.'
