Local businesses are transforming their shopfronts into dazzling festive displays and adding extra sparkle to Monmouth’s streets. In acknowledgement of their hard work, Monmouth Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce its annual Christmas Window Dressing Competition, which will run throughout December!

The competition celebrates the spirit of the season while highlighting the importance of shopping local and supporting the community. By choosing to Shop Monmouth, residents and visitors can help sustain local businesses and keep the town vibrant during this special time of year and into the future. Last year’s winner was Bumble, who have again created a beautiful window display; many other retailers are also demonstrating their creativity with bright and imaginative decoration.

Judging will take place towards the end of December, with the winner announced shortly after. Look out for updates and photos of the stunning displays on our social media channels. Better yet, share your images on Facebook and tag us in - @Monchamber

Next year we hope to make it more interactive and have public voting.

Sherren McCabe-Finlayson, President of Monmouth Chamber of Commerce, said:"This competition is about more than beautiful displays; it’s a chance to celebrate our amazing local businesses and remind everyone how crucial it is to shop local and support Monmouth’s economy. Let’s make this festive season unforgettable while keeping our community thriving!"
