​Since we were unable to hold our annual 'Christmas Tree Switch On' event this year due to social distancing concerns, etc we decided that we would hold a 'Best Dressed Christmas Window Competition' and are inviting residents and businesses to participate from 5th December.
 
Entry is FREE, but you must register by sending a message on our Facebook page (@sheptonchamber) or email: sheptonchamber@gmail.com.
 
Once we have a list of windows, we will publish where they can be seen (house numbers and streets only - no names) so everyone can enjoy your efforts.
 
Your decorations will be photographed from 7th December and our judges will determine the best Christmas window display.
 
The winners will be announced on the 19th December.
 
Prizes:   
- Residential - £30 gift voucher to spend in any Shepton Mallet Business
- Businesses - A bottle of bubbly or equivalent
 
Closing date for entries: Wednesday 16th December
 
We look forward to seeing lots of wonderful Christmas windows brightening up our town.
​We are supporting the many shops and businesses in the town who decide to stay open late to welcome visitors and celebrate the festive season.
 
The town offers a great mix of independent shops where you can find your perfect gifts, and several eateries to sample delicious Christmas fare. So, wrap up warm to enjoy everything on offer on Thursday 17th December until 7pm.
