This Christmas, Church Road is getting festive! Over 20 independent businesses are coming together to bring a little Christmas magic to Bristol's historic Golden Mile.

Church Road Christmas – The Golden Mile Festive Trail!

Once known as Bristol's 'Golden Mile of Shopping', Church Road was a bustling main route into the city centre, lined with thriving independent shops and businesses. It was such a popular shopping destination that Tesco even chose the area for one of its earliest stores! Now, we're bringing some of that Golden Mile magic back to life!

Explore beautifully decorated shop windows, follow a trail of glowing star lanterns and take part in The Golden Mile Star Hunt! Hunt for hidden stars, collect the letters and crack the festive puzzle for your chance to enter our FREE Christmas raffle, with fantastic prizes donated by local businesses.

With late-night shopping, festive lights, unique gifts and plenty of community spirit, it's the perfect excuse to explore Church Road, discover independent gems and support local this Christmas.

Shop local, follow the stars and celebrate Christmas on the Golden Mile!

The Golden Mile Window Trail & Star Hunt

Calling all festive detectives! We've got a Christmas challenge for the whole family! Explore Church Road's beautifully decorated Christmas windows and see if you can crack our secret festive puzzle!

Download our trail map, print it out or keep it handy on your phone, then set off to discover all the participating businesses along the Golden Mile.

Hidden inside each shop or somewhere in its festive window display is a secret golden star. Your mission is to find each star and write down the letter displayed on it.

Once you've collected all the letters, can you rearrange them to reveal our mystery festive word or phrase?
