These events are being heavily promoted around the Borough and through Nuneaton on the rear of buses travelling there and back through several villages.

A prestigious Trophy is being made again this year and will be awarded by our independent judges to the Best Dressed window display in Hinckley Town centre.

There will also be Runner-up certificates for Second, Third and Fourth.

It would help if you could please e-mail a picture of your window to us but if that is difficult please e-mail martina@hinckleybid.co.uk who will arrange to come down and take the photo for you.

Despite the best attempts by Covid to try to disrupt our lives, Hinckley Town Centre is holding its own and footfall is better than in many other places. Please remember that Hinckley BID is here to help you if we can – just email steve@hinckleybid.co.uk or call Steve on 0770 939 4841.
