Best Decorated Carnival themed shop window

Congratulations to The general store H. B Hibbs in Swanage which has been voted the best dressed Wild West themed shop window during Swanage Carnival week.

All those who took part in the carnival What’s Not My Line window competition were asked to nominate the shop which best reflected the 2026 theme A Wacky Western in Carnival Canyon, and the store formerly known as Jenkins in lower High Street got the most public votes.

Thank you to all the shops who took part and all those who nominated their favourite window display. We hope you will all get involved again next year!”
