The brand-new competition series sees twelve pairs of Brits the chance to win their own French abode…
Since 2018, Channel 4 daytime series Chateau DIY has thrown a spotlight on gutsy and talented Brits who have been willing to pack up their lives in the UK, move across the Channel and build a new future in France. A brand-new competitive spin-off from Sheffield-based production company Spark Media North will provide one pair of winners the chance to win the dream themselves and take on their own grand chateau project.
Chateau DIY: Win the Dream will see aspiring chatelains compete in challenges to prove they have what it takes to win a life-changing prize: an authentic castle in France with multiple bedrooms, living quarters and outbuildings which could be worth up to £250,000 – lower than the average price of a home in the UK. The challengers will compete in a series of heats testing their skills in design, renovation, and business acumen: essential traits they’ll need for running their own property.
Each challenge will be guided and judged by the familiar faces of Chateau DIY’s main series, who will share their vast and varied expertise of renovating and running these magnificent properties with the competitors. After three weeks of heats, a selection of successful candidates will be put through to the finals week where one lucky pair could win the prize of their dreams.
The twenty episode series will air in hour-long slots on Channel 4.
