Southampton’s Snow Windows Trail has become a much-loved seasonal highlight in the city centre, transforming shopfronts and streets with beautifully illustrated window artworks. Created by artist Tom Baker from Snow Windows, the trail features detailed designs inspired by winter wildlife, nature, Southampton’s landmarks and some beloved festive characters.
This free walking trail typically runs during the winter months and offers a great way to explore the city centre while discovering creative displays along the way. New routes and artworks are introduced each year, giving visitors a fresh reason to take part when the trail returns.
This page will be updated closer to the time with details of the next Snow Windows Trail, including dates, routes and participating businesses. The trail is brought to you by GO! Southampton, the city’s Business Improvement District.
How does the trail work?
Using our free trail map, follow one of two walking routes to discover all of the clue stops. Each snowy window location will have an A4 window poster featuring a question or clue. Keep track of your answers by writing them down in your trail map.
When you’ve completed either trail route, simply fill in the feedback form on the back of the map and head to the end location to collect your free prize. Trailgoers will receive a prize for each route they complete!
