Last Call To Take Part In Advent Windows!
In Lockdown last year, there was no hesitation to take part and there were no gaps in the month of December when it came to ‘Choose a Christmas carol and dress your window accordingly‘. Everyone enthused and enjoyed “getting out” to walk around the village as Christmas approached, encouraged by the creativity of those who took part. (Last year’s gallery can be viewed HERE.)
The theme this year set by our Rev. Jo is ‘The Heart of Christmas‘. Perhaps not as definitive but for whatever the reason, there are still 10 dates left unused for next month – this Wednesday being the 1st of December.
Please contact Rev Jo in the first instance at: revneary@gmail.com or tel: 01308 867816 to be involved. You’re not too late to be included on the map if you contact Rev. Jo very soon. An up-to-date list will also be online at Broadwindsor.org.
By taking part, it is taken as permission that you are happy for the date and name/number of your house to be published so people can come and view.

Sign Up For Advent Windows 2021
Following last year’s fabulous Advent windows trail around the village* there is some energy to have another go. This year the theme is much broader – The Heart of Christmas.
There is a list in Broadwindsor Community stores – please sign up there 🙂
- Sign up for which day in December you want to light your window.
- Interpret the theme any way you want.
- Windows are lit up each day around 4pm and kept lit until later in the evening, switch off when you like.
As the month progresses more and more windows appear 🙂
Please sign up choosing dates from the end of the month (24th Dec.) first – that way if we have fewer than 24 people we can just start later through December.
Please sign up no later than Sunday 21st November.
Any queries, get in touch with Jo Neary: revneary@gmail.com
Many thanks,

All Broadwindsor’s Advent Windows
As stockings are being hung on Christmas Eve, here are all the Advent windows which were assigned to and displayed by the villagers of Broadwindsor. The creativity and imagination shown was both incredible and beautiful. Well done to Rev. Jo for coming up with the idea, to all those who participated and thank you to Margery Hookings for providing most of the photographs. It is certainly going to be a Christmas that no one will forget where they were or what they were doing! Stay Safe.
Please enjoy Broadwindsor’s Advent Windows 2020….
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Broadwindsor Advent Windows Go Live on Tuesday 1st December
We have 24 different windows around the village themed around Christmas carols. Each day at 4pm the carol linked to that day’s window will be played in the Square and then the window will be lit.
Across the month the windows will create an Advent Calendar until all are lit by Christmas Eve. We hope to keep the windows lit until 1st January 2021.
Starting at 22 Yarn Barton on the 1st and ending at our Church on 24th, the full map will be displayed on village noticeboards and at the Community Stores.
“Thank you so much to all the people who have joined in with this initiative and been so creative. We wish you all a very happy Advent journey through December.”
