The nation's best-loved TV chef is heading to Preston and Leyland -and you can win £100 food voucher

TV chef Ainsley Harriott is set to surprise shoppers in two Lancashire supermarkets this month.

The larger-than-life star is heading to Morrisons in Leyland and Preston Docks to meet shoppers, share recipe inspiration and surprise lucky customers with prizes as part of a five-day supermarket tour.

Alongside the tour, Ainsley Foods Company will also donate £3,000 worth of food in each of the three regions that Ainsley visits to charities supported by Morrisons, helping to support community organisations across the North.

Visiting nine stores over five days, Ainsley will meet customers, hand out free samples, chat about his favourite ways to use his couscous range and surprise one lucky shopper at every store with a £100 Morrisons voucher. Additional Ainsley Foods goody bags will also be up for grabs at each store throughout each day.

The tour forms part of Ainsley Foods' 'Where's Ainsley?' campaign. Ainsley said, "I'm looking forward to getting out and meeting shoppers in Yorkshire, Manchester and Lancashire. There's nothing better than chatting about food, sharing a few recipe ideas and hopefully putting a smile on people's faces. Come along, say hello, try our delicious couscous and who knows... you might even leave with a little surprise!"

Mike Benton, MD at Ainsley Foods Company said, “We're passionate about bringing people together through great food, and we're delighted to be supporting local communities alongside our Where’s Ainsley tour. By donating £3,000 worth of food in each region we visit, we hope to make a meaningful contribution to the fantastic food banks and community organisations making a difference every day.”
