Isle of Man 2026

Window Wanderland Returns for 2026 – with a Manx twist

The Island’s Window Wanderland event is delivered in collaboration between venues in Port Erin, Peel and Douglas, with the Ramsey location to be announced soon. The community arts event aims to brighten the last of the season’s dark evenings with creative window displays on local streets. For 2026 participants are invited to be inspired by Blein Ny Gaelgey (Year of Manx Language) and integrate Manx folklore, language or visual art into their windows.
