Channel to give away in French mansion in Chateau DIY: Win the Dream

Channel 4 and Spark Media North are expanding on the success of their popular daytime series with a brand-new competition offering twelve pairs of Brits the chance to win their very own chateau in France.

Since 2018, Channel 4's Chateau DIY has highlighted the inspiring stories of Brits who have taken the bold step of relocating to France to restore and renovate grand chateaux. Now, a fresh competitive spin-off from Sheffield-based production company Spark Media North will give one winning pair the opportunity to make their own dream a reality and tackle their very own chateau project.

will see hopeful candidates compete in a series of challenges designed to test their skills in design, renovation, and business, all essential for running a property. The winners will receive a real French chateau with multiple bedrooms, living spaces, and outbuildings, potentially valued up to £250,000 – less than the average UK home. The contestants will face a series of heats, judged and guided by the familiar experts from the original Chateau DIY series, who will share their renovation knowledge and experience. After three weeks of competition, a group of successful contestants will advance to the finals, where one lucky pair could win the ultimate prize of their dreams.

Channel 4’s Jayne Stanger comments: “Chateau DIY has been one of Channel 4’s most popular daytime series and we’re very excited to bring this grand competition to life with Spark Media North. It will offer the perfect blend of glorious escapism and real-life twists and turns that our viewers love to follow.”

Spark Media North’s Joff Hatfield-Powell adds: “We are delighted by the continued success of Chateau DIY over the last seven years and to have Channel 4’s support in producing this ambitious extension, which promises more of the very same thrill and wonder en route to a life-changing prize for one skilful pair of chatelains. As proven suppliers to Channel 4, we take pride in delivering daytime shows with primetime values. This new series is our most ambitious yet – a high-stakes competitive reality show that will captivate audiences and offer one of the biggest prizes in daytime TV history.”
