Voting opens for Bury St Edmunds festive window competition

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – and that means the Our Bury St Edmunds’ Christmas Window Competition is open with the chance to win a fabulous hamper just by voting for your favourite festive display. 

Every year, town centre businesses compete for the prestigious Our Bury St Edmunds Shield presented by the Business Improvement District (BID) organisation.

Launching today (Monday, November 25), the free to enter competition is offering a prize of a festive hamper worth up to £150. 

Just visit the Our Bury St Edmunds website where voting remains open until Sunday December 13. 

The winning business will be announced shortly afterwards along with the winner of the hamper drawn from all those who’ve cast a vote.  

Mike Kirkham, business support manager at Our Bury St Edmunds BID, said: “Last year’s winner was the beauty and make up salon Edit Clinic, in Risbygate Street, and it was the first time that owner Victoria Last had decorated a shop window for Christmas, so a real achievement. 

Our businesses always do the town centre proud and put so much hard work into their shop windows with all of them looking wonderfully festive.

“If you are coming into the town centre for some shopping or meeting up for a coffee or night out, then do have a wander around looking at all those seeking your votes. Together with the town centre lights and decorations it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”
