Advent Calendar goes live for December
Kate McGuinness made a splash on Instagram during lockdown with charming digital drawings of iconic Wellington scenes. Now she’s created a new series of illustrations especially for the 2020 Wellington Advent Calendar.
This year’s online Wellington Advent Calendar consists of stylised numbers from 1 to 24 representing those days in December.
Once a number is clicked on, one of Kate’s illustrations and a hospitality or experience deal are revealed. Simply enter your email address and you will receive a voucher redeemable at the respective business. Vouchers are valid until the end of February.
“In Wellington, a lot of our identity is wrapped up in the places we frequent. You get to know the person behind the counter, especially with locally owned places - it’s very personal. I kept this in mind as I worked on the advent illustrations.”
The 2019 Wellington Advent Calendar led to 89,000 vouchers being downloaded.
