Shops along Marlow High Street are being encouraged to dress up their windows with the best Christmas decorations and designs.

The annual Window Dressing Competition, which is organised by the Marlow Chamber of Commerce, is a unique way to promote businesses along the high street, as shops with the most eye-catching festive décor, could lure in potential new customers.

Last year, Leightons Opticians and Hearing Care in the town won the competition, with their prize being a Christmas hamper which was given to them by Waitrose

Lesley James, the president of the Marlow Chamber of Commerce, said: “Last year’s high street showed some amazing creativity and already this year, some windows are living up to, even surpassing the expectations which that set.

“If you would like to be considered for the 2020 prize, all you need to do is get dressing.

“Let us know about it, so we can share the view – and know for sure where to look.
