ONE of York’s best known hotels is the latest business in the city to unveil its festive window display for the living advent calendar.

The Dean Court Hotel, in Duncombe Place, revealed its creation yesterday, which is a festive scene featuring the Minster, Santa flying over the cathedral and carol singers.

Raluca Sandu and David Birkinshaw, who work at the hotel, painted the scene on the window using special window paint.

“We wanted it to be colourful and joyful,” Raluca said.

“We are very happy with how it has turned out. I think it looks great.”

The hotel is the 15th business to reveal its window display as part of the living advent calendar initiative.

Businesses across York are taking part and transforming their window displays to spread festive cheer, with one trader revealing a display every day until December 25.

On Saturday, it’s the turn of Browns department store, in Davygate.
