Celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with Shop Hartlepool

To celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s 70th Jubilee, Shop Hartlepool are encouraging local businesses to join in the celebrations. Inspired by the creativity shown by local businesses in the 2021 Christmas Window Display competition, Shop Hartlepool are hosting a Platinum Jubilee Window Trail. Shop Hartlepool businesses can be as creative as they wish: decorating their window to suit the occasion. There will be creating a central place on the Shop Hartlepool blog to host the businesses involved so that people can follow the trail around the town to admire the Jubilee themed windows.

The Shop Hartlepool 2021 Christmas Window Display competition was a fantastic success with 28 local businesses joining the competition. Following a public vote The Simple Weigh crowned the best display in the town.

The Shop Hartlepool Platinum Jubilee Window Trail is an opportunity for businesses to get involved with Shop Hartlepool, other businesses and the community, while also celebrating the Queen, royalty and all things British. The Jubilee Window Trail will not be a competition, it will be a fun activity for Shop Hartlepool businesses to be involved in. Everyone will be a winner!
