Window Wanderland is a Covid-safe weekend festival, a walking trail to see homemade displays in residents windows. Anyone can make display, or go out onto the streets and see their neighbours in a new light. Anything goes from a simple candle to a film projection, poetry to politics and each display says something about the maker who created it. Perfect for bringing people together in a safe space under the stars, allowing new conversations to begin in front of unusual displays. A fun, cross generational, easy to access community event.
We have supported over 130 Window Wanderland festivals internationally since we were born in Bristol, 2015. In 2020, we saw over 3,200 displays in houses, offices, campervans, cinemas, takeaways, cafes and shops, across residential streets, schools, tower blocks and high streets. Being all-inclusive means that everyone can get involved including schools, housing associations, individuals, local businesses, groups and neighbours all working together. This produces a genuinely unique local grassroots festival, with creativity and wellbeing at it's heart, to combat social isolation within communities.
