Huge thanks to local artist Celie Byrne for taking on the unenviable job of choosing just three winners on Saturday, 30th November.

Twenty four local businesses took part in this year’s competition to see which business has the best festive display.

Known all year round for their spectacular window displays, With Love Flowers on Causeyside Street were crowned this year’s winners with a festive feast for the eyes!

Second place went to Murray Opticians on the High Street for an eye-catching fun and festive display!

And third place went to Bears by Sue Quinn on Lawn Street, for her beautiful traditional display, well done to the lovely Sue!

Guest Judge, local artist Celie Byrne, was full of praise for everyone’s efforts. Celie said: “Congratulations to everyone who was involved in this year’s Best Dressed Christmas Window Competition – it was no easy feat by any means!

“Your dedication shone out like stars which made the judging incredibly difficult.

“You’re all stars in my eyes, have a Merry Christmas!”

Congratulations to our winners and well done everyone who took part in this year's Competition, we loved all your festive displays!

Do you agree with Celie's choices? Take the tour and judge for yourself! Just collect a Best Dressed Christmas Window leaflet from our leaflet racks in either the Piazza Shopping Centre, the Lagoon Leisure Centre or The Paisley Centre.

Love Christmas? Love Paisley!
