Aunique and fun community initiative that started in Bristol in 2015 is coming to Dorchester in February.

Organised by local volunteers, Kathy O’Borne and Charlotte Dingle, with support from Dorchester Town Council and Crickmay Stark Architects, Dorchester Window Wanderland is encouraging local residents to create window displays on the theme of “A Brighter Future” to amuse, entertain and inspire each other for one weekend. Together these windows will form a wonderful winter walking trail, which everyone can enjoy safely. The event takes place between Friday, 19th February and Sunday 21st February, from 6pm-9pm.

‘The great thing about Window Wanderland is that everyone can take part’ says Kathy O’Borne. ‘You can interpret our theme, “A Brighter Future”, however you want (so long as it’s family friendly!) You could use tissue paper, fairy lights, household objects or anything else that’s handy—this is for everyone, not just arty types. You can even use the event to brighten up your shop windows. The more people taking part, the better, so spread the word and get your whole street involved. We are really excited to see what Dorchester comes up with.’

It is easy to get involved and register your home or business as part of the trail. If you want to make a display, just visit the event website for more information: www.windowwanderland.com/event/dorchester-2021/

And to view the trail, just go to the above website to find all the places near you who are participating.

Window Wanderland was created in 2015 in Bristol by Lucy Reeves who said: ‘Everyone has a playful side to them, they just need an opportunity to show it. This brightens up the long winter nights and gives everyone a great excuse to get outdoors.’
