FROM BRIGG TOWN BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP
The results of both Brigg’s great Christmas Window and the Children’s Trail competitions were announced by Baroness Redfern last Saturday.
With more entries than ever before The Best Christmas Window winners were
- 1st Grandads Shed
- 2nd The Bank Hairdressers
- 3rd Ecigwizard.
In the closely fought past-winners' section....
- 1st Joanne Leigh Couture
- 2nd Design Orchard
- 3rd Parkers Carpets and Flooring.
Our three winners of the Children’s Christmas Trail competition as well as the £50 lucky draw winner were presented with their prizes by Baroness Redfern, too.
This year’s competitions have been a real success encouraging our visitors to discover shops that they never knew there from the Courts&Yards to the High Street! A big thank you to A.F. Carpets in Brigg for their sponsorship of the competitions and to Brown & Co for their supportive publicity.
The Thursday Late Night Shopping event provided a wonderful opportunity for the school bands of Sir John Nelthorpe and the Vale Academy to showcase their skills, and they did the town proud! They played three outside venues during the night and thrilled their audiences with their enthusiasm and great music. The Brigg Amateur Operatic Society also provided enthusiastic singing of traditional carols during the night which, again, was well received by shoppers. The Brigg Sixth Form Drama Group provided an unusual but stimulating slant on Christmas by performing a play they had written specially for the event. The general comment from many shoppers was that it was so great to hear live music and drama being performed so well and enthusiastically. It was also a great opportunity to visit the Tree of Life in Chapel Court where many people placed remembrance cards of loved ones.
Malcolm Bailey, Chair of Brigg Town Business Partnership said: “A huge thankyou to all those businesses and market traders that made this event happen. It was a delight to see and hear so much live music and drama. We were disappointed it didn’t attract a higher number of shoppers but this was the first time the Partnership had put this on so we will be talking with our shops about how we can increase public support next year.”
