"This is the story of Foggy the Partridge whose Christmas wish is for his Pear Tree to grow big and strong..."

Re-watch the magical moment our Christmas Window was revealed.

This Christmas, we're showcasing a touch of the unexpected across our window display. We've partnered with celebrated author and illustrator Chris Riddell to reimagine 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' along with the talented British family owned design and production house, Propability.

Our take on this classic carol honours the timeless traditions of Christmas while offering a fresh Fenwick perspective with a dash of surprise. The window display tells the heartwarming story of Foggy, a determined little partridge with a very special Christmas wish.

Mia Fenwick, CMO at Fenwick adds: “Our Fenwick Christmas windows exhibits the talent of iconic British illustrator Chris Riddell and the fantastic family-owned production team at Propability, who’s craftmanship has spun a modern take on a festive favourite, 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. We hope people get to see our Fenwick Christmas windows either in person or online and get swept up in the joy of storytelling with family and friends this festive season.”

Chris Riddell, Author & Illustrator comments: “When I was asked by Fenwick if I could transform one of my favourite Christmas carols into a Fenwick window series, I was intrigued by the process. I got to work and created a character ‘Foggy the Partridge’, who’s on a journey to make his Christmas wish come true. My drawings and narrative have been brought to life through brilliant 3D creatives and fantastic moving characters - with the support of traditional mechanical movement. I'm absolutely thrilled with what we have created and hope everyone enjoys the windows as much as I do.”

The tale reaches its crescendo as Santa's helpers spring into action - eight maids a-milking, nine ladies dancing, and ten lords a-leaping all pitch in to help Foggy's tree grow. With a sprinkle of Santa's magic, delivered by eleven pipers piping, and celebrated by twelve drummers drumming, Foggy's Christmas wish finally comes true.

The window display will be open for all to view from Monday 4th November and throughout the festive season. Visits to the window will be soundtracked by a bespoke rendition of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' created and performed by Tyneside band 'The Unthanks' in partnership with The Glasshouse International Centre for Music.

Becky and Rachel Unthank add “We grew up visiting the Fenwick windows as kids, and now we have our own, we take them every year, so we were really excited to be asked by The Glasshouse and Fenwick to create the music this year. It ties in beautifully with our own release this Christmas, The Unthanks In Winter. Our version of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' is inspired by Santa’s workshop, the physicality of the moving characters and the factory line. We can't wait to go and see it in action at Fenwick.”

Through this year's Christmas window, Fenwick continues its commitment to supporting the local community with a partnership with Newcastle Foodbank. You can support their vital work helping people in crisis by purchasing a Fans Supporting Foodbanks T-shirt for £20, with all profits going to the Newcastle Foodbank. The shirts, which will be displayed as part of this year's window, are available from the Fenwick Newcastle Concierge.

The magical world of Foggy the partridge was unveiled in front of a small number of invited guests, including children and families from Fenwick's partner schools, hospitals and charities as well as the Christmas Window Reveal competition winners.

Join us as we share in Foggy's heartwarming journey and celebrate this unique interpretation of a beloved Christmas classic.
