A LIGHTHOUSE transformed into Captain Birds Eye's ‘home' – complete with a freezer full of fish fingers – is up for grabs in a competition.
The famous fisherman's ‘house' has been revealed as a 69-foot high structure off the coast of Norfolk.
His coastal retreat is filled with personal touches that tell the story of his life at sea.
Just beyond the entrance are his well-worn fisherman’s waterproofs, a ‘Gone Fishing’ sign nearby, and a surfboard leaning casually against the wall.
And a hilarious video of the beloved Captain will further entice potential winners – as he reveals a freezer stuffed full of frozen treats.
He also shows off his lookout tower, where he takes time to plan his next adventure – surrounded by maritime books, it is the best seat in the house, offering a perfect view of the horizon.
In the bedroom, his navy suit jackets and signature hats are neatly arranged, always ready for whatever the sea has in store.
Mike Sowerby from Birds Eye, which is giving people a chance to stay at the lighthouse, situated just a few miles down the coast from its Lowestoft fish finger factory, said: “Captain Birds Eye has been part of British family life for decades, and we’re thrilled to bring his world to life like never before.
“The lighthouse is a true reflection of his adventurous spirit and love for the sea, and we can’t wait to welcome one lucky family to experience it for themselves.
“Whether it’s enjoying a classic fish finger sandwich in the kitchen or taking in the stunning coastal views, this is a truly unique opportunity to step inside The Captain’s life and create lasting family memories.”;
Since his 1967 debut, Captain Birds Eye has been a familiar icon, known for his naval uniform, twinkling eye, and passion for the sea.
And while he has evolved over the years, he has always stayed true to his adventurous, family-focused spirit.
The Captain’s residence was built 185 years ago – and stopped being a working lighthouse in the 1920s.
It has seven rooms in total, two of which are bedrooms – and the competition prize is a six night stay for up to six people.
