Traders praised for high quality of jubilee weekend shop windows

A CAFÉ and gift shop has won Barnard Castle Meet’s platinum jubilee themed window dressing competition.

Clarendon’s took top honours with its display of Queen Elizabeth II with an afternoon tea.

Artisan Corner came runner-up with Allium Interiors taking third prize.

Meet committee member Colin Glasper said the quality of window displays by the many shops that entered was high and “it was very hard for the judges to pick a winner” .

Fellow committee member John Emerson said the support from the town, as always, had been brilliant.

Jade Kipling, who received the prize on behalf of Clarendon’s, said the display was designed by fellow staff member Becky Errington and had taken about a day to set up.
