Following the success of last year’s Advent windows, Onslow Village Residents Association (OVRA) is once again organising a ‘living Advent calendar’ in the village in the run up to Christmas.

These pictures show some of the windows in Onslow Village lit up in 2019.

Decorated windows in residents’ homes will be lit up group by group in turn daily from December 1 (from 4 to 8 pm) until Christmas Eve.

Once lit, all will remain lit between these hours until the new year.

The windows will be decorated to represent some aspect of Christmas (secular or traditional) and be visible from the footpath. Photographs will also be posted on the OVRA web page and on the village’s Facebook page.

In late November a list and map identifying each window will be posted on the OVRA website and village notice boards.

The association says: “This project will provide some brightness and Christmas cheer to evening walks as the nights draw in, as well as fun for children who are strongly encouraged to help with decorating!”
