Cuckfield Advent Windows
Cuckfield Parish Council is excited to announce our first Christmas Advent Calendar for 2023. Get into the Christmas spirit by creating a festive display in one of your front windows facing the street which is visible to passing traffic and pedestrians. The scene can be made with crepe paper or whatever you want to use, and back lit so it’s visible to all. Running from 1st – 24th December, we’re looking for 24 windows to sign up to take part in this year’s event. Each participant will be assigned a number and asked to unveil and light their window at 6pm on that Advent day. Windows are asked to remain lit until at least 9pm. We can have more than one window per date, subject to the number of entries received. All are invited to take part, including homes, shops, businesses and pubs. The only theme is ‘Christmas’. All windows will be lit on 24th December to mark the night before Christmas and to bring the village together. A map will be published online at the end of November to allow those who wish to see the windows to plan their route. We will also share a photo of each window as it is unveiled on its Advent date. Please apply with your name, address and available dates by 10th November to: clerk@cuckfield.gov.uk. We look forward to hearing from you!
