Follow the trail

This December Big Local Works, and Bermondsey BID, are joining forces to bring festive creativity to the streets of Bermondsey with the launch of Bermondsey Festive Windows 2025.

Each display, designed by local organisations, schools, artists, and businesses, combines festive imagination with a celebration of Bermondsey’s identity and community spirit. We’re even inviting residents to get involved and light up their windows!

Send us or post your pictures of your windows – the best photos will be used on the Bermondsey.London website and win £25 to spend in Bermondsey… if they are used on the website, we will pay them £25 per photo – remember to tag @Bermondsey.London and use the #FestiveBermondsey.
