Illustrator Sally Anderson is creating a unique festive trail in shop windows across the town centre.

An illustrator with a passion for creating art that brings joy and creativity to communities. Sally has worked on everything from children’s book illustrations to large-scale murals, including a large NHS mural project, and now bringing some Christmas magic to Chesterfield.

‘Robin’s Lost Letters’ will feature twelve festive designs that tell the story of a Robin traveling around Chesterfield collecting letters.

Each design will include a secret letter, if you can collect all the letters and spell the secret word using the fun trail map, you can claim a beautifully designed wooden bauble that you can take home to display on your tree.

Maps available from all participating businesses from Sunday 1 December until Thursday 6 January. Complete the trail and claim your wooden bauble from CAWA coffee.
