Cheshire's Biggest Advent Calendar is Back for Christmas 2026!

One of our favourite Christmas traditions is returning, and this year, it's extra special. Our iconic advent calendar windows are back, bringing a little festive magic to the heart of Macclesfield. For Christmas 2026, we've invited some very talented young artists from Whirley Primary School to help bring our windows to life. Earlier this year, the Bianchi family visited the school, where the children performed a wonderful play about the history of Arighi Bianchi. It was particularly lovely to discover how many remembered our advent windows from 2023 and had been learning about our family business as part of their local history lessons. Inspired by their creativity, we've worked together to transform the children's original illustrations into a magical Christmas window display. The children's original artwork will also be displayed inside our showroom throughout the festive season, so make sure you pop in and take a look!
