High Street Christmas Shop Window Award
We are all aware of the challenging times that businesses have at the moment but know that the High Street shops will continue to do all they can to look their best at Christmas. The Heritage Society wish to recognise this effort and will be making an award to the best shop or business reflecting the spirit and tradition of this time of year. We are privileged in Hartley Wintney to have a number of diverse independent shops and encourage everyone to support them to ensure that they continue to operate and thrive.
