Twelve days of Christmas trail – Win a Nintendo Switch in time for Christmas!
- 19/11/22 - 18/12/22
- 11:00 - 15:00
Visit Littlehampton Town Centre throughout the festive period to discover a brand-new and unique art trail created by local artists and schoolchildren using upcycled materials.
The 12 giant decorations inspired by the carol “Twelve Days of Christmas” are on display in shop windows. Which will you spot first? The Five Gold Rings or the beautiful partridge in a pear tree ?
Plus there’s a chance to win prizes* if you follow the trail and successfully complete an entry form (included in the What’s on Guide) listing the name of the shop where you discovered the decoration. Make sure you look out for the information card sitting next to the decoration so you can match the art to the verse!
Prizes include wristbands for Harbour Park, Toys from Morrisons, a voucher for Topogigio, two lots of Sweet treats from Candy Box, a voucher for Crafters’ Corner, a large Father Christmas ornament from Forget me Not, children’s arts and crafts from The Works, 3 lots of meal vouchers for a family of 4 for Harbour Lights Café and vouchers for Angel White Salon.
Pick up a free Christmas What’s on guide from Littlehampton Museum and local shops or download one here. You can also complete the entry form online. Closing date is Sunday 18 December and the winner will be announced the following day.
In addition to the large decorations the children made smaller versions which are hanging on the Town’s Christmas Tree and in one of the galleries in Littlehampton Museum. So make sure you look out for these and visit the Museum. It is open six days a week and entry is free.
Whilst in Town, enjoy the many independent shops selling one of a kind products ranging from gifts to locally-inspired art pieces. If you are looking to experience fresh local food, head to one of the many eateries to enjoy a mouth-watering snack or meal.
Free 2-hour disc parking is available in all town centre car parks. Simply pick up a disc from selected shops including Bah Humbug Sweets in Anchor Springs, David O Jones in the High Street or Littlehampton Museum near the Manor House car park.
