The excitement of Christmas is in the air, and some of Newry’s City Centre businesses have gone all out this festive season with some magical window displays!

Newry BID decided to create some friendly competition and organise a Window Dressing Competition.

The competition was very tough with 18 local businesses creating magical scenes to attract customers into their very own Winter Wonderland.

Newry BID had an independent judge visit all stores and make their decisions based on the theme, promoting their product and overall look of the display.

It was a very tough decision to place the top 3 which were:

• 1^st Place – Mc Evoys Newry
• 2^nd Place – Newry Credit Union
• 3^rd Place – Joanna McCartney Hairdressing

Newry BID were delighted to see the involvement from their members to help showcase Newry in its best light, working in line with their theme of Improving how Newry Looks. Congratulation’s to all the winners!
