Galactic Guinness
Guinness will offer one lucky person the opportunity to become one of the first ever non-professional astronauts to venture into space. Following full training to ensure the winner is mentally and physically prepared for the flight that will race them through the Earth’s atmosphere at almost 2500mph (three times the speed of sound), the winner will experience the amazing feeling of weightlessness, float effortlessly around the cabin, and view planet Earth from the blackness of space, stretching 1000 miles in all directions
Deep Sea Drinking
Guinness will also be rewarding one Guinness fan and two friends the chance to venture to the depths of the sea in the first ever Guinness deep sea bar. The guests will be treated to an incredible four day trip to the Lofoten Islands in Norway, where they will board the exclusively designed deep sea bar and enjoy a pint of the black stuff surrounded by a breathtaking seascape up to depths of 70m below sea level.
Guinness Studio Session
Finally, one lucky winner and friends will experience an intimate, live performance by The Black Eyed Peas at one of their recording sessions for their forthcoming world tour, before spending some time chilling out with the band over a pint of the black stuff.
