A TV celebrity has judged a town contest in Tetbury.

Interior designer Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen gave his verdict on entries to Tetbury Music Festival’s Best Dressed Window competition on Friday, September 27.

Pat Hodges of Skeins of Tetbury in Long Street was crowned the overall winner.

Silver went to Hobbs House Bakery in Church Street, while bronze went to Amy Perry Antiques in Long Street.

Many other shops won praise from the TV designer and music-lover for their designs.

The competition saw two dozen local shops compete to create the most beautiful and innovative shop window design, with each reflecting an aspect of Tetbury Music Festival.

The contest celebrated the music-making on offer during the festival and raised welcome extra funds for St Mary’s Primary School in St Mary's Road to enhance its music provision.

Commenting on the competition, Laurence said: “This really does go to show that we in the Cotswolds are an international force in the dark arts of visual merchandising.

“Roll over Bath, Bristol and even London - Tetbury shop windows blaze an incandescent trail.”

Tetbury Music Festival is a chamber music festival founded in 2003.

King Charles is the event’s patron.

The shop window displays will be available for the public to view until Sunday, October 6, which also marks the final day of the festival.
