Advent windows
This is a new take on Advent Calendars. Every day from 1-24 Dec a building in Cheadle Hulme will illuminate a decorated window to represent a Christmas Carol. If you want to be involved you can download a flyer here which tells you more.
Once it is live, you are invited to download the map and visit the windows, which should be visible from the street and illuminated between 5 and 8pm from their launch date onwards, and may extend until 6th January 2021. A QR code at the site and the links which will appear below will give access to the page on our website with some background, an activity and a link to a performance of the carol on YouTube, which will come live on the date specified.
