The Winners

The members of Whitchurch Arts viewed all the entrants’ windows and had a wonderful experience seeing all the creativity on display in Whitchurch.  Each member chose their top three windows and the results were collated by the chairman.

The 1st place winner is…

‘Painted Santa’ by the Miller Family of Evingar Road.

Their entire front window was painted with a very festive scene. You will see more examples of their window painting around town if you visit the Charity Shop being run by the Scouts, and the loos on the Meadow.  Very creative work indeed!

The 2nd place winner is…

‘Plush Nativity’ by the Stead Family of Newbury Street.

Their big bay window was filled with stuffed animals all coming to visit a baby in a manager.
