The Big Reveal – Christmas Windows

The Big Reveal Christmas Trail, sponsored by Berry & Lamberts Solicitors, highlights 50+ beautiful festive displays across the town. It’s a great, free opportunity to explore Tunbridge Wells, whilst voting for your favourite display!

From 14 November, you’ll be able to vote for your favourite display, following our Joy To The Wells Christmas Kick Off! The first round of voting will close on the 28 November.

Then the 12 window displays receiving the highest number of votes will be selected as finalists and from 1 – 19 December you will be able to vote for your favourite finalist, with the winner being announced on 20 December. All the finalists will receive trophies and certificates with the top three receiving bespoke marketing packages to promote their businesses in 2025.

There will also be a children’s Christmas trail to take part in 1- 29 December, where by visiting the 12 finalist windows, they will be able to answer the competition questions, and be in with a chance to win a new games console! The winner for this will be announced in the new year.
