Runners up were Baileys, Julia's House, Clearway Pets and the Bell and Crown.

“In these stressful times, we wanted to present a window that reflected the true meaning of Christmas in a fun and abstract manner," said Nigel McNally of Baileys.

"We thank all those that voted for our display as well as those that have come to take photos of our Henry nativity scene.”

The Julia’s House Salisbury Shop team said: “We’re delighted that our Christmas window has been voted one of Salisbury’s favourite displays this year.

"Everything on show has been generously donated to support the local families that Julia’s House cares for, so our festive display was definitely a community effort.”

Robert Daley, landlord of The Bell and Crown added: “We would like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for us and are delighted that our window was so well received.

"We’d also like to say a huge thank you to our sign writer Artful Charlie for creating such a winning window.”
