Participant Guidance Pack
How it works
• On your assigned date, decorate and light a window facing the road.
• Your window stays lit each evening until Christmas Eve.
What to do
• Decorate a window that faces the road/pavement/path with a Christmas or winter theme such as stars, angels, the Nativity, carols, winter wildlife, snowflakes, festive patterns. You could use lights, pictures, cut-outs, scenes — be as creative as you like! For inspiration take a look at:

• Light your window from your assigned day onwards, ideally from around 5–9 pm.
• Stay safe – use battery lights or safe electrics (no trailing outdoor cables).
• Take a photo of your window and send it to kevin.thorne@huntsgrove-pc.gov.uk so we can share it on the parish social media.
• Keep it visible from the road/pavement.
• Add a number (your day of Advent) so trail-walkers can follow the calendar.
Community trail
• A map of all the windows will be posted on the parish website, Facebook page, and mailing list.
• Families can enjoy walking the route each evening.
Thank you for bringing Christmas cheer to our village!
