Wenvoe Advent Windows<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

To lighten Advent this year we are inviting you to take part in lighting up your windows. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Whilst it is possible that our preparations for Advent and Christmas this year may require a little more thought and planning than normal, a small group of people are hoping to plan Wenvoe Advent Windows that we can all enjoy safely. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Wenvoe Advent Windows will encourage people who are perhaps going to be inside more than usual this December to wrap up warm and get out to view the windows. There will be a new one to see each night leading up to Christmas Eve when of course there will be 24 all on display. The event allows people to carry on social distancing and following Covid rules, whatever may be in place at the time. <\/span><\/p>\n

This community fun event will run from the 1<\/span>st<\/span>-24<\/span>th <\/span>December, with the final window at St. Mary\u2019s Church. We would like you to take part; there is no entry fee, it\u2019s not a competition and adults and children can be involved. <\/span><\/p>\n

How will it work? <\/span><\/p>\n

We need a minimum of 24 participants to decorate their windows. Participants will be allocated a date when they will light up their window for the first time and to continue lighting up each day until 24<\/span>th<\/span>. Every day from 1<\/span>st <\/span>December a new window will be lit up to go and see so that by 24<\/span>th <\/span>December there will be 24 windows for residents to view. <\/span><\/p>\n

The windows can be designed and constructed from any media- lights, mobiles, cut outs etc. They can be as simple or technical as your artistic tendencies take you. They can be internal or external displays as long as they involve decorating your window. All the displays should relate to Advent \/ Christmas and can be humorous, artistic or topical <\/span><\/p>\n

The windows will be lit from 5.00pm – 9.00pm each evening. <\/span><\/p>\n

Each house participating will be asked to <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>display a number (corresponding to the date their window is \u2018opened\u2019) to differentiate from other residents who will have their own Christmas decorations. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>keep their window a surprise as far as is possible before the designated big reveal evening <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to participate and <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>live in a house that has a window (upstairs or down) that can clearly be seen from the street without people coming onto your property <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>are happy to keep the window illuminated each evening after it is \u2018opened\u2019 until December 24<\/span>th <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are aware that many people give their time and money to support a host of different charities. If you would like to put a charity box outside your house you would be most welcome. Just make sure you empty the box each evening. <\/span><\/p>\n

For more information ring: <\/span><\/p>\n

Sandra and Brian Jones: 02920594248 <\/span><\/p>\n

Jude and Nige Billingham: on 02920594708 or 07516 112897 <\/span><\/p>\n

Please let Jude Billingham know by October 16<\/span>th <\/span>that you want to decorate your window by supplying your name, address, email address and any preference you have about dates; by email (judebillingham@yahoo.co.uk) by telephone, or text. <\/span><\/p>\n

Please be aware that in agreeing to participate you are also agreeing to have your address identified on the windows map that will be made available so people can look for your window. No names or email will be shared without your permission.<\/span><\/p>\n
