His Royal Woolness

Carpet retailers are being encouraged to roll out the red (white or blue) carpet to mark the coronation of King Charles III in May.

The Wool Carpet Focus Group has launched a compeitition to find the best window display for Coronation Day on May 6 and is offering afternoon tea at a Royal palace among the prizes.

The initiative is supported by the Campaign for Wool of which Charles was patron when he was Prince of Wales.

The organisers would like the displays to appear early in April and throughout May. The presentation must promote at least one benefit of wool floorcovering.

Retailers are asked to post their window display to their own social media channels usng the hashtag #lovewoolcarpets and judging will take place in the first week of May. The winners will be announced at the Buying Group National Flooring Show in Solihull on May 10.
