1) An overnight stay with breakfast at Fota Island Resort
We're sending one of you on an overnight stay with breakfast for two people to the five-star Fota Island Resort in East Cork, to get away from it all with walking trails, an indoor swimming pool, the world class Fota Island Spa, the fine dining Cove Restaurant, or tee time on the stunning golf course, surrounded by picturesque forest and woodland. You can visit Fota Wildlife Park, Fota House and Gardens, Cork's English Market, Ballymaloe’s gardens and shops, the farmers market in Midleton, Ballycotton’s cliff walk, Cobh, the beautiful blue flag beaches nearby - the options are endless! Check out all their latest offers at www.fotaisland.ie.

2) An overnight stay at The Heritage, Laois, with breakfast and Afternoon Tea
We're sending another lucky Insider to The Heritage in Co. Laois this month, for an overnight stay with breakfast and their signature afternoon tea in the Galleria. The four-star hotel and spa in the pretty village of Killenard, County Laois, has loads of things to do, from golf on the 18-hole Seve Ballesteros course, to Elemis treatments in the award-winning spa, to walks and trails in the Slieve Bloom mountains. Check out their brilliant midweek breaks or summer escapes here. (T&C's apply, not valid on bank holidays)

3) Lunch for two with Bloody Marys at The Fitzwilliam Hotel
The Fitzwilliam Hotel on St Stephen's Green has been known for its Bloody Marys since opening in 1998, and over 25 years later they've brought in a new Bloody Mary menu in a nod to their past. They're serving five different versions of one of the world's most distinctive cocktails, each day in the lounge from midday to 10pm, and there's a new food menu to go with it, featuring snacks, salads, sandwiches, small and large plates. We've got a three-course lunch for two with Bloody Marys to give away this month so you can settle into the lounge, sip on a "Five Star Bloody Mary", and decide what you're going to eat. Check out the lounge and menus here.

4) Three-course summer lunch for four with drinks at Hawksmoor
This summer Hawksmoor are bringing the best possible value to meat lovers, with a steak and a side at lunchtime for just €21! And you can upgrade to a two course lunch for €24, or a three-course for €27 - pretty hard to beat prices for Dublin right now, particularly for 35-day dry-aged Irish rump. To celebrate this unreal steak deal in one of Dublin's most beautiful dining rooms, we've got a three-course summer lunch for four to give away, with either a cocktail each or a bottle of wine to share. Check out the summer lunch menu and book here.

5) Dinner from the pre-theatre menu for two at One Pico
If the cost of literally everything is kicking your ass, but enjoying the finer things in life is just who you are, get yourself into One Pico for their early evening menu. The short menu (canapés, breads, starter, main course) is €48, and the long (all of that plus dessert/cheese and petit fours) is €60, and with dishes like lamb ravioli and butter-roasted monkfish, this is fine dining at a much easier to process price tag. It's available every day they're open (even Friday and Saturday!) with last orders at 6pm, and it's basically the same menu as the regular €78/€98 menu, with a €30-€40 saving. More money to spend on those mighty fine wines. Check them out here.

6) Six VIP Sunday Tickets to Big Grill Festival
Europe's largest BBQ & food festival, Big Grill, is back in Dublin’s Herbert Park from Thursday 14th - Sunday 17th August. Bringing dishes you'd usually have to travel the world to taste, from some of the biggest Irish and international names from the BBQ and grilling world, they describe it as "a food festival led by the finest ingredients, fed by fire." We've got six Sunday tickets to give away this month with access to VIP area Rancho Relaxo, two complimentary drinks per person, guaranteed seating, garden games and a private bar. Visit www.biggrillfestival.com for the full line up and tickets.

7) €100 voucher for Green Earth Organics
The summer harvest is in full swing at Green Earth Organics - the 100% certified organic family-run vegetable farm in Corrandulla, Co. Galway, and its nationwide organic grocery delivery service. Get chemical-free produce from their farm and those of other organic growers around Ireland, as well as over 800 organic grocery items, from cheese to bread to pantry items. Few things make us happier than an online shop from Green Earth, and our lovely boxes of organic food arriving on the doorstep, and one of you will be on the organic food buzz this month with a €100 voucher for the website.

8) A bumper beer delivery from Galway Bay Brewing
Galway Bay Brewery, one of Ireland’s top independent brewers, have just launched their latest creation - Figo Pilsner (4.5%). It's their indie take on the increasingly everywhere Italian Pilsner style, inspired by the crisp, modern lagers served in Northern Italy. They've brewed Figo to have a smooth, soft finish with delicate European hop aromas, for a bright, clean and always fresh summer lager. We've got a bumper prize pack of 36 beers from Galway Bay Brewery to give away this month, featuring the new Figo Pilsner and their Lush Extra Pale Ale, which should see you through to the end of summer (or to the end of your next barbecue). Find them in off licenses nationwide and all Galway Bay bars.

9) A six month jam subscription from Mór Taste
Wexford-based Mór Taste are officially the producer of “Ireland’s fruitiest Jams”, made from 85% fresh fruit and up to 70% less sugar than other jams. Founder Felix Oster thinks that more fruit means more flavour (and less sugar), and also keeps Mór's jams free of preservatives, artificial sweeteners and fruit concentrates. We've got a six-month jam subscription to give away to one ATF Insider this July, where you'll be sent five of their multi-award winning flavours to try each month, like Mixed Berry, Blueberry, Cherry and Raspberry, all of which have recently hit the shelves of Tesco stores nationwide. Buy online or check for stockists here.
