Hide AdHelen Marshall, Vice Chair and CEO of Chichester BID said: “We are so pleased that Simon is judging the Christmas window display competition this year. With his eye for design and detail we look forward to hearing his views on all the fabulous displays.
"The theme this year is Merry and Bright and we can’t wait to see what this means to our local business community.”
Every year businesses within the city walls come together and produce fabulous window displays that light up the city centre.
The displays are judged on criteria including how products are displayed, props and graphics used as well as the overall appearance of the shop front.
