Sutton advent windows
This is now Sutton's fourth year of advent windows and we have thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many magical, inspired window displays brightening up the village, lifting everyone’s spirits over the festive season.
A window is revealed each day from 1st-24th December, creating a Christmas window advent calendar throughout the village.
Do you have a street-facing window that you would be willing to decorate and illuminate during December? If so, read on…
How to join in -
The way it works is:
1) You just need to sign up for a date between 1st and 24th December using the Contact Form to request one of the remaining dates in the list below. We will then let you know if the date you have requested is still available and reserve it for you.
2) Create an illuminated, festive window scene that's easily visible from the main road. You may want to follow a theme, but it’s totally up to you, as long as your window is colourful, celebratory and clearly displays the number of the day so that passers-by know which date you are representing.
3) Reveal your advent window on the date you signed up for and keep it lit every evening (at least between 5pm and 8pm if possible) ideally until 5th January or if that's not suitable, until after New Year's Day.
