Fenwick reveals its 2024 Christmas windows ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’
Fenwick’s flagship store in Newcastle has unveiled its eagerly awaited Christmas windows, delighting onlookers with a heart warming, whimsical twist on the classic “Twelve Days of Christmas.”
This year’s display follows the story of Foggy, a spirited partridge on a quest to fulfil a Christmas wish: to find Santa and help his pear tree grow.
Paul Baptiste, head of creative at Fenwick, said: “This festive season, we’re bringing a touch of the unexpected. Our take on the classic Christmas carol honours timeless traditions of a familiar Christmas, while offering a fresh Fenwick perspective, with a dash of surprise.”
The window was unveiled in front of a small number of invited guests, including children and families from Fenwick’s partner schools, hospitals and charities, as well as the Christmas Window Reveal competition winners.
The display will be open for all to view from Monday 4 November and throughout the festive season. Visits to the window will be soundtracked by a bespoke rendition of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ created and performed by Tyneside band ‘The Unthanks’ in partnership with The Glasshouse International Centre for Music.
The enchanting displays were imagined by celebrated author and illustrator Chris Riddell and brought to life by Propability, a British family-owned design and production house.
Mia Fenwick, chief marketing officer at Fenwick, said: “Our Fenwick Christmas windows exhibits the talent of iconic British illustrator Chris Riddell and the fantastic family-owned production team at Propability, whose craftmanship has spun a modern take on a festive favourite, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’.
“We hope people get to see our Fenwick Christmas windows either in person or online and get swept up in the joy of storytelling with family and friends this festive season.”
