The list of shops and businesses taking part in this year’s Advent Windows in Stone has been revealed. Here is the map which show the order in which Stone’s giant Advent calendar will be revealed day by day in December…
For the fourth year running a giant community Advent calendar is being unveiled day by day in Stone shop windows from 1st December to 24th. This year the theme is once again Christmas carols and there is a record 19 partnerships between the shops and schools and other organisations in the community.
The decorated windows will remain on display over the Christmas period until 2nd January.
All windows will be opened at 11am and there will be a special Christmas Eve Calendar Carol-singing Crawl! Starting at Lock Keeper’s Cottage on Stafford Street at 9.30am, come along and sing your way through the calendar and up the High Street. At 11am the carollers will arrive at Christ Church in time for the opening of the final window, after which mince pies and other refreshments will be served in Christ Church Centre.
