PRIZES As you will have guessed, we can't gather in the church car-park to give out the prizes as we planned on Christmas Eve. If you managed to solve the Christmas song and would like a prize, then email us your answer and address at [email protected]
We will then deliver your prize in a Covid safe way.
Whilst out for exercise or shopping, you are welcome to visit our nativity scene in the church car park (opposite shop). Merry Christmas.
The clues will be posted here each day at 4pm, as well as in the display board in front of the chapel.
Fancy making your own display? We have a few more days to fill, so sign up here.

What are Advent Windows?
The idea
Each day in December, a new house will have a Christmas themed window display - Santa Claus / Wise men on camels / Elves wrapping presents… You get the idea.
The Challenge
We will release a clue each day at 4pm for you to go and hunt for the new window. The lights will be on between 4-7pm every day during advent.
The Puzzle
Each display will include a letter for you to collect as part of a word challenge… Download the puzzle sheet here to complete as the month progresses. Solve it to win a prize on Christmas Eve.
