Fenwick Christmas Window Theme

This year’s theme of the iconic Fenwick’s window is at the forefront of everyone’s mind.

Christmas would not be the same without a visit to the Fenwick window display during your Christmas shopping trip. As momentum builds in anticipation for the much-loved window reveal, we take a trip down memory lane to revisit some of its magical themes to date to try and work out what this year’s theme could be!

Over the years, various magical themes have been presented in Fenwick’s window from Treasure Island,  Alice in Wonderland, A Christmas Carol and even an appearance from Shaun the Sheep. This brings us to this year’s theme. Will it be a Christmas classic or a modern twist on a much-loved fairy tale? Who knows?  We certainly don’t, but that’s all part of the fun, right?

Fenwick's Window

Grand Reveal

The grand reveal of Fenwick’s window will take place on Sunday 5 November. The reveal will only be available to members of the public who have won a ticket by entering the prize draw from Monday 16 October to Sunday 22 October. Enter here.

Fenwick’s Christmas Window 2022

This year’s Fenwick Christmas window display has been revealed and it is… drum roll, please… Clarice Bean: Think Like an Elf!

The famous Fenwick store has teamed up with children’s book author Lauren Child CBE to create this year’s magical twist on the traditional display.

Follow the story of Clarice Bean, who attempts to save her family’s Christmas after the Circus is cancelled. A fitting link between Fenwick’s 140th-anniversary circus theme, which we saw earlier in the year.

The Clarice Bean, Think Like an Elf story is displayed over eight windows and can be seen via Northumberland Street. Each one is adorned with carefully illustrated 3D items with a 2D appearance in keeping with Lauren’s unique signature illustration style and takes viewers on a magical journey.

This year’s theme reveal was viewed by thousands via Fenwick’s YouTube channel and narrated by the author, which you can watch here. However, we highly recommend visiting this year’s display in person for a truly immersive experience.
