Tetbury 2022

Welcome to Tetbury’s first Window Wanderland!

We are delighted to be starting a creative community project in the streets of Tetbury.  With your help we will transform our town into a spectacular outdoor gallery for all to enjoy!  A perfect Covid-friendly event to brighten up the deepest, darkest winter evenings, produced by Tetbury Goods Shed Arts Centre with the help of local groups and organisations and hopefully YOU. 

Fancy taking part?

Taking part as a Windowmaker is FREE and everyone’s welcome. You can make a lit up display in the windows of your flat, house, business, school, nursery, car, campervan, shop – or anywhere it can be seen from the street! 

Window Wanderlands are a popular event around the UK and further; here are some links if you want to know more:

Be brave and have a go. Your display could be as simple as a block of different coloured tissue paper over each window with stuck on stars or repurpose your Christmas fairy-lights in a window around a jungle of your favourite pot plants and furry jungle animals. Or you could go all out and create a tissue paper and card masterpiece which links with a theme in your street.  Or create yours from recycled materials.
