Christmas is just around the corner, and to bring some festive cheer to the Thames community, the Thames Business Association is running an Advent Adventure.

Shoppers are invited to visit the business/es of the day, take a photo of the window display, and either share on their social media, tagging the business and TBA – make sure your post audience is set to Public so we can see it! You can also message or email the photo directly to TBA.

All entries are eligible to win a voucher from the business or businesses of the day. 

You’ll know which businesses are involved because they’ll either have a festive diorama in their shop window, and/or be displaying a festive poster beginning on the 1st of December.

The business featured for that day will have a number (1 for Day 1) on their display. 

Which will be the business/es on Day 1?

Find out by listening to the local radio stations in the morning, plus check TBA’s Facebook, Instagram or this article to discover which business to patronise. We’ll update the list daily, down below, with the featured business/es of the day. 

There will be no Christmas Day voucher, however if you take a photograph on each of the 25 days including the display for Christmas Day, you will go in the draw to win a voucher or gift pack worth over $200.

Get creative with your photos too because the winner of the day will be selected by the business or businesses based on the photos submitted and will receive a voucher from that business.

Special thanks to Sereena Burton for her inspiration for this initiative. 

Save this article and check back each day to see which business/es to take photograph.
