Ashington's famous 'Fenwick's window' shop now has an Easter display

It was the shop that got everyone talking in the run up to Christmas thanks to its festive window display and a shop in Ashington has done it again for Easter.

At the same time as famous department store Fenwick's had people flocking to Northumberland Street in Newcastle to see its annual display, which last year celebrated the 40th anniversary of The Snowman, The Divan Clan attracted its fair share of attention for its own window.

After asking customers if they'd be up for handing over some decorations, staff at the Station Road shop set to work on giving Fenwick a run for their money with their own Christmas window.

And after being overwhelmed by the amount of donations of things including trees, toys and lights they received, they revealed the fruits of their labour which went down a treat with locals.

The window has been decorated again for Easter and there's an added incentive for Ashington families to get involved.

If a child brings along a decorated egg for the window they will each receive an Easter egg as thank you and then their egg and be win with a chance of winning a massive Easter hamper.

Some impressive designs so far have included Where's Wally, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and The Incredibles.

There's still time to get yours in though!

The Divan Clan's Melvyn Barnes told Chronicle Live: "I think we'll end up running out of eggs to give out as more and more entries are coming in all the time!

"We still can't get over the reaction to the Christmas one; everyone was talking about it!"
