Merry Baubles trail

Winter windows

Illustrator Sally Anderson is back to create another unique festive trail across shop windows in Chesterfield.

Sally’s illustrated window scenes will shine with colour, warmth, and festive sparkle, celebrating the joy of the season. Each bauble tells a tiny Christmas story — from snowy streets to bustling markets — capturing the heart of Chesterfield in miniature.

Hidden in each window will be a letter, collect all the letters and solve the secret phrase to collect a prize from CAWA coffee.

The trail will run from Sunday 23 November until Monday 5 January.

You will be able to download a trail sheet on this page or collect a sheet from one of the participating businesses.

This project forms part of the Animate Chesterfield programme which aims
