Georgina Roberts, of Mooch, said: "We are so delighted to have won the competition again this year, we put a lot of thought and effort into our Christmas window each year and would like to thank the judges and our customers and the local people of Andover who voted online for us to be the winner.

"We are going to donate the prize to The Countess of Brecknock Hospice as they do such wonderful work."

The competition, run by Andover's Business Improvement District (BID) through InAndover, ran from December 1 to 20, with the public able to vote online as well as a physical judging panel.

Businesses were invited to display their windows in an attractive Christmas theme and eleven town centre businesses entered.

Steve Godwin, BID Manager, added: ” The aim of the contest was to have some fun in the town and to stimulate interest in Andover Town Centre whilst helping to drive physical and online footfall to businesses.

"And all businesses had to do was to submit a photograph of their festive window and notify BID of their intention to enter.
