Wrecclesham Resident Wins £1,000 in André Noir Christmas Draw

A resident of Wrecclesham has won £1,000 to spend at a local jeweller following a festive prize draw held by André Noir Jewellers. Sarah Sweet, owner of the marketing firm Unicorn Orange, was selected from over 350 entries during the draw, which took place at Lion & Lamb Yard on December 22, 2023. The event featured Farnham Mayor George Murray, who joined the André Noir team in selecting the winning entry.

The prize draw was part of André Noir’s Christmas celebrations, encouraging customers to participate by entering in-store throughout December. After receiving her prize, Sweet expressed her surprise and excitement, stating, “I’ve always loved André Noir, so winning something like this is incredible. I feel so lucky and am incredibly grateful.”

As she considers how to use her winnings, Sweet mentioned that she recently commissioned a bespoke tanzanite ring from the jeweller. “I’m deciding between a matching pair of earrings or a diamond bracelet,” she added.

Community Engagement and Local Business Support

Mayor Murray emphasised the importance of local businesses in fostering community spirit. “It’s always great to see local businesses bringing people together and creating moments like this,” he said. “Independent shops play an important role in the life of the town, and it was lovely to be part of something that celebrates both community and craftsmanship in Farnham.”

Dan Fox, owner of André Noir, highlighted that the draw was a memorable part of the festive season. “Christmas is always a special time in the shop, and this was a really nice way to celebrate it,” he noted. “We’re grateful to everyone who entered, and we’re thrilled Sarah has chosen to create something she’ll treasure.”

In addition to the festive prize draw, André Noir has announced a January sale, beginning on January 6, 2024, offering discounts of up to 50 percent on selected items. Customers are encouraged to visit early to ensure the best selection during the sale period.
