There’s a clear winner in the battle of the shop windows – and Snailwell’s of Lytham has driven straight down the fairway to claim first prize!
The popular Lytham business wowed judges with an eye-catching golf-themed display to win Fylde Council’s AIG Women’s Open Window Display Competition, beating off impressive entries from shops across Lytham, St Annes and Ansdell.
With excitement building ahead of one of the biggest sporting events ever to come to the Fylde Coast, local businesses have pulled out all the stops, transforming their shopfronts into colourful golfing masterpieces.
From championship-inspired scenes to tributes celebrating women’s golf and Fylde’s proud sporting heritage, shop windows have been given a spectacular makeover ready to welcome thousands of visitors.
The judging was carried out by the Mayor of Fylde, Councillor Richard Redcliffe, who toured the decorated high streets before selecting Snailwell’s as the worthy winner.
Their beautifully crafted display impressed with its intricate detail and celebration of women’s golf, earning staff an amazing prize of four tickets to the AIG Women’s Open, which runs from Wednesday, July 29, to Sunday, August 2.
Councillor Jayne Nixon, Fylde Council’s Lead Member for Tourism, Leisure and Culture, congratulated Snailwell’s on their “truly outstanding” display and praised the many businesses that had embraced the tournament, helping create a fantastic atmosphere across the borough.
The Mayor added that the standard had been exceptionally high and choosing a winner had been far from easy.
He said the decorated shopfronts had captured the excitement surrounding the championship and encouraged residents and visitors alike to stroll through Lytham, St Annes and Ansdell to enjoy the displays.
With the world’s best women golfers arriving in Fylde this week, the vibrant window displays are providing the perfect welcome and adding even more colour and excitement to what promises to be a memorable week for the area.
