Window Wanderland returning to Dorchester
We're being encouraged to decorate our windows once again
The Window Wanderland is coming back to Dorchester, following the success of last year's first ever event.
More than 200 households, schools and businesses helped to create some beautiful displays last time - and now organisers want our help to do it again.
They're asking people to decorate their windows to create a walking trail to light up the streets of the county town.
Kathy O’Borne, volunteer organiser, said:
"Last year, over 200 households, schools and businesses helped to create a magical outdoor gallery and lift our spirits during lockdown.
"This year, with your help, we want to make the event even bigger and better than before. Participating in Window Wanderland is completely free and everyone is welcome.
"This year, our theme is "Spark Joy". It’s up to you how you interpret the theme. Your display can be as simple or complicated as you like and you can use anything you want, from tissue paper to fairy lights to household objects. Don't feel intimidated- simple can be really effective.”
The event's being held between Friday 4th March and Sunday 6th March, from 6.00 until 9.00pm each night.
If you want to take part, you can register through the Window Wanderland website.
Emma Scott, from Dorchester Town Council said:
“The Town Council are thrilled to be supporting this event again. It was a real tonic visiting all the windows last year, and the variation and quality of the displays people put together was truly heart-warming. We really look forward to seeing how people interpret and share what brings them joy.”
