Winter Windowland Returns to South Shore for Small Business Saturday!

South Shore is getting into the Christmas spirit once again as Winter Windowland returns on Saturday 5 December 2026, bringing festive shop windows, special offers and a Christmas Lights Switch-On to round off the day.

Following last year's success, businesses along Waterloo Road, Lytham Road, Bond St and the surrounding area are joining forces to celebrate Small Business Saturday, encouraging residents and visitors to shop local and support the businesses at the heart of their community..

This year's Winter Windowland will see shop fronts transformed into beautiful snowy Christmas scenes, courtesy of North West creative company Hand on Art, who are returning to work their festive magic for a second year. The initiative is funded through Blackpool Council's Business Growth team as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting local businesses and encouraging people to shop in South Shore.

Festive Offers and Christmas Lights Switch-On

Throughout the day, participating businesses will be offering special discounts, free treats and festive deals, from haircuts and Christmas gifts to cakes, mince pies and hot drinks.

The celebrations will finish with the South Shore Christmas Lights Switch-On at 4.30pm outside Savers.

The Christmas tree and lights have been funded through Cllr Simon Cartmell and Cllr Diane Mitchell, helping to bring some extra Christmas cheer to the area.

Supporting South Shore's Businesses

Proposed quote from Cllr Mark Smith, Blackpool Council's Cabinet Member for Economy and Built Environment:

"It's fantastic to see Winter Windowland returning to South Shore, bringing local businesses and the community together for Small Business Saturday.

"Our independent businesses are at the heart of South Shore, and this is a great opportunity to support them while enjoying some festive cheer.

"With special offers, snowy window displays and the Christmas Lights Switch-On to finish, there's something for everyone. I'd also like to thank Cllr Simon Cartmell and Cllr Diane Mitchell for funding the Christmas tree and lights and helping make the day even more special."
