So far, four lucky participants have won an entirely free grocery shop courtesy of Lidl Northern Ireland, after taking part in a ‘supermarket sweep’ style competition in their local store.
In honour of Father’s Day 2023, the retailer ran a campaign asking families to nominate the father figure in their life to be named Lidl Northern Ireland’s ‘Dad of the Year’.
Across the region, a total of six people were selected giving them the opportunity to take part in their very own ‘Daddy Dash: David Long, in Carrickfergus, Co Antrim; Brian McAlinden, in Lurgan, Co Armagh; Stephen Begley, in Magherafelt, Co Derry-Londonderry and Darren Bonner, in Omagh, Co Tyrone. More details about how they did in the two-minute timer challenge in the captions below.
Meanwhile, the final two trolley dashes, for Co Fermanagh and Co Down, are taking place this Saturday (July 29).
