The annual visit to see Fenwick's Christmas Window has been a festive tradition for generations of families and soon the crowds will be turning out in force again to see this year's display, which is being described as its best yet.
While the theme is always kept firmly under wraps until the very last minute, the city store has announced the date of the big reveal as November 6. As it prepares to transform the giant front windows facing onto Northumberland Street, it says the launch once again will be a virtual one.
In the past two years, when the pandemic saw a move away from the usual public unveiling, which attracted masses of people, Fenwick hosted a live-stream on Facebook. This time there won't be a live-stream but the theme will be revealed on its social channels and YouTube.
