What is Window Wanderland?
Window Wanderland is a fun family-friendly event where communities create illuminated displays in windows. You can use the street-facing windows of your home, business, school, nursery, car, shop, or even your door, or front garden. A map showing the locations of illuminated window displays is then created to form an after-dark walking trail and community event, transforming local streets into galleries.
Ely’s first Window Wanderland, held in 2020, was organised by and promoted by two of the city’s arts organisations The Stained Glass Museum and Babylon ARTS. Over 140 households and businesses took part in last year’s event and we hope even more will sign up to participate this year!
When is it?
Ely’s second Window Wanderland will take place over the evenings of Friday 22nd, Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th October 2021. Everyone is encouraged to get involved by illuminating their street-facing windows between 6pm and 9pm, creating an after-dark walking trail of glowing windows.
Looking for Inspiration?
If you’re wondering what to make, why not take a look at Spotted in Ely’s gallery of photos from last year’s displays. Your window display can be as simple or as spectacular as you like, as long as it’s family friendly.
You can use carefully-crafted tissue paper or tracing paper images, make a sign, handprints, use your recycling materials, or a projector.
