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
