Festive cheer lit up the town this Christmas as hundreds of residents came together to celebrate local businesses in a much-loved Christmas window competition. An impressive 624 people cast their votes, showing just how strongly the community got behind the event.
In total, 27 local businesses took part, transforming their windows into creative, colourful festive displays. From traditional Christmas scenes to imaginative and modern designs, the standard was high across the board — making the public vote both exciting and fiercely contested.
Organisers have extended a huge thank you to everyone who voted, visited the windows, shared posts online, and supported the businesses involved. “The response has been incredible,” a spokesperson said. “This competition is about celebrating creativity, encouraging people to shop local, and bringing some extra magic to the town during the festive season — and the community truly delivered.”
Awards Ceremony – Save the Date
The winners will be officially announced at a special Awards Ceremony on Monday 20th January, running from 5–8pm at the E-bike Cafe. All participating businesses are invited, and the evening will also include a number of special recognition awards, celebrating standout creativity, effort, and festive spirit.
Adding to the excitement, the public prize draw will take place immediately after the winners are announced, via a LIVE Facebook draw, giving voters the chance to win prizes while tuning in from home.
Residents are encouraged to mark their calendars and keep an eye on social media for further updates in the run-up to the event.
With such strong community backing, the Christmas window competition has once again proven that when local businesses and residents come together, something truly special happens. 🎄✨
