Three Salisbury businesses have won the chance to have a festive window display created by one of the designers seen in the TV show, Interior Design Masters.

Designers Fran Lee, Amy Davies and Dean Powell who star in the BBC programme will return to the city as Christmas begins to give three businesses a Christmas makeover.

Amy will be working with jewellers Allum & Sidaway on Minster Street, Fran will take on Maul's Wine and Cheese Bar on Fish Row and Dean will work with Captive Worlds on Crane Street which specialises in aquariums and terrariums.

Allum & Sidaway said they are delighted to have been selected as one of the lucky winners.

Manager Luke Pope said,

“We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with Interior Design Master Amy Davies and can't wait to see the festive transformation that this talented professional will bring to our striking building.”

John Arnold from Captive Worlds says with a large window space ' there’s a lot of opportunity for creativity!”

Andy Maul commented, “The creative juices have already been flowing between myself and Fran and we are so confident what she will produce will be amazing!

“Fran has really taken the time to understand our values and ethos as the home of wine and cheese for Salisbury and we cannot wait to show off her window display.”

Susi Mason, owner of Casa Fina and Salisbury BID Director, has been instrumental in bringing the competition together.

Her homeware and gift store was one of three which starred in this year's series of the show fronted by Alan Carr.

"BBC Interior Design Masters brought so many people to the streets of Salisbury when it was aired in March so Salisbury BID thought that it would be fabulous to invite some of the designers back for a return visit. I’m sure everyone will love to see the creativity that they’ll bring to the city."

The windows will be unveiled on the 18th November.
