The Lines Company is bringing back its Christmas Lights Competition, giving households across our network the chance to light up their communities and celebrate the festive season.

Following the support and creativity shown by local households in previous years, the competition is returning for 2026.

Residents across the network are encouraged to decorate their homes, get creative and help bring some extra Christmas cheer to their neighbourhoods.

The competition is about more than lights. It is a chance for communities to come together, explore the displays around their towns and celebrate the people who put in the mahi to make Christmas special.

Participants can register their property through The Lines Company website. Registered displays will help create a Christmas lights trail so families and visitors can find participating homes across the region.

Entrants will also have the opportunity to nominate their preferred local charity, helping share the Christmas spirit with organisations supporting our communities.

More information, including competition dates, prizes, judging and how to register, will be available on The Lines Company website.
