The magic of Christmas is being conjured up in a brand new, Covid-safe way in one north Cumbrian village thanks to the creative use of technology. A brand new Covid-secure advent calendar trail is up and running in the village of Stainton, near Penrith. Each day throughout December, a new Christmas decoration will appear in the village, giving village residents and visitors a fresh festive hunt each day. The trail has been carefully designed by residents, businesses and the local Methodist church to accommodate Covid-19 restrictions. As the decorations appear, the community will also be connected by video, using QR codes on the signs around the village to link to videos from those contributing to the trail.
