SOLVA has put on a sparkling display of Advent windows this year, following the great success of last year’s inaugural event. The village has been turned into a living advent calendar with windows in homes and businesses throughout decorated with a festive theme. The village began its Advent adventure last December and decided to repeat it again this year as a way of providing a Covid-safe pre-Christmas event. The decorated windows are lit every night between 5pm and10 pm from December 1 to December 24. Maps of which houses are lit up when are available in the Top Shop and on the Solva Care Facebook page.
