BID Christmas Window Competition

Tuesday November 18, 2025

We’re inviting all BID retail and hospitality businesses with shopfronts to take part in this year’s Christmas Window Competition. This is a chance to showcase your creativity, show off your shop, spread festive cheer, and get featured on Cheltenham BID’s social channels!

✨ What’s involved:

• Decorate your shop window with a festive theme – it doesn’t have to be expensive! Use your own products, props, or collaborate with neighbouring businesses to create something special.
• Each participating business will receive visit from an Elf to include in their picture of the display – part of the fun and perfect for our BID social media spotlights!
• Once your window is ready, share a photo on your social media feed and story, tagging @VisitCheltenham and @CheltBID, and use #ChristmasinCheltenham and #BackedByBID.

Limited Elves available so please let us know by 27th November if you’re involved below. Let’s make Cheltenham sparkle this festive season!

Please complete your window display by 1st December so our BID marketing team can share your festive photos throughout December as part of our Christmas countdown if you don’t have social media, we’ll happily come and photograph your window for you.

All participating businesses will be entered into our competition celebrating the most-shared post, best on a budget, innovation, creativity, Cheltenham-esque flair, and sustainable sourcing, with all displays judged throughout the season.
