This month Barnet Council is inviting local shops to enter their festive window displays for recognition.

The council is looking for the most festive windows from local independent shops, charity shops, cafés and restaurants across the borough to showcase.

To enter, owners should decorate your premises festively, take a photo and email it to [email protected] with the name of the business name and address by Friday 8th December.

Winning displays will be chosen through an online public vote in December. Winning businesses will receive a certificate from Barnet’s Small Business Champion and will be featured across Barnet Council’s communication channels.
