29 November 2024

Starting today, visitors to Southampton will discover beautifully decorated snow scenes and Christmas characters on the windows of around 20 venues as part of the Snow Windows Trail.

From Friday 29th November to Tuesday 31st December, the FREE walking trail, organised by the city’s BID team GO! Southampton and sponsored by Brackenwood Windows, participants will be able to do the North Pole and/or South Pole trails where they can find stunning individually designed windows created by Snow Windows.

Families will need to find the clues to reveal the festive word and then they can exchange their completed map at HMV and MAST Mayflower Studios. Trail maps will be printed and distributed around key venues in the city as well as put in book bags across primary schools in Southampton. You can see where to pick a map or download it here.

Stephen Manion, Executive Director at GO! Southampton says the Snow Windows trail is not to be missed and is a great addition to this year’s festive line up in Southampton.

He said: “These windows are truly remarkable and are perfect for getting Southampton’s shoppers into the festive spirit. Not only is it hoped that these activities can help spread a bit of Christmas cheer, it also ensures that people keep coming into the city in the run up to 25th December to support local businesses. There’s plenty on offer to keep the kids entertained – and it’s free!”

Brackenwood Windows are proud to be Headline Sponsors of the Countdown to Christmas event and the Snow Windows Trail. Allan Forbes, CEO, said: “It’s been great working with GO! Southampton to deliver this project. The Christmas trails are popular every year – and this one is set to be the best one yet!”

Keri Ackling, Director of Snow Windows said: “We hope our bespoke designs help get everyone into the festive spirit this year – and make sure you keep your eyes peeled for those clues that could win you a prize!”
