WINDOWS will be decorated in Ovingham to mark Advent.

The Ovifun Advent Trail - from December 1 - will see a new window revealed every day until Christmas Eve.

Ovifun fundraises throughout the year to stage inclusive events for children and their families that are fun, affordable and encourage a healthy lifestyle.

Village pub The White Swan will be the first to unveil its window.

"We do a few events each year and this one is becoming a firm favourite", said Ovifun volunteer Helen Lee.

"We reveal the window on Facebook every day so people who aren't able to walk around the village can enjoy seeing the windows as a photograph. It's a living advent calendar."

The trail ran for the first time last year. It follows a popular Easter trail put on by the group.

Helen added: "Each house is free to do their own thing. We allocate them a number and then produce a map with every house.

"I have been a part of the village for 26 years, I just felt it was something I could do to give something back. My kids have grown up in the village and enjoyed village events."

The White Swan, Kirsty Hodgson Estate Agent and Little Big Butterfly have supported the event. 

Maps are available from the pub and the village shop.
