Local businesses in Arnold will be shelling out to dress up their shop fronts as part of a creative Easter competition taking place in the town centre next week.
On Thursday, March 24 various shops, from florists to jewellers, will be taking part in the competition to be crowned the best dressed Easter themed window.

The Mayor of Gedling Councillor Meredith Lawrence and Vice Chair of the Arnold Local Area Forum Councillor Sandra Barnes will be judging, along with Mrs Pat Daniels from the Arnold Art Society, who will cast her artistic eye over the entries. Judging will take place from 10am in Eagle Square in Arnold Town Centre on the day.
12 businesses are competing this year, including last year’s winners Barnardo’s, who are hoping to retain their winning status for a second consecutive year.
The competition was organised by the Local Arnold Area Forum and supported by Gedling Borough Council’s Economic Development team as part of ongoing work to raise the profile of the local businesses in the local shopping precincts.
