Gloucester City Council in partnership with Gloucester Culture Trust and GL4 are pleased to announce a brand new community art project for Gloucester taking place this December.

Funded by the Arts Council England, Window Wanderland Gloucester is part of Bright Nights a new programme of light installations for all the family to bring colour, light and joy to the city as the nights get longer over winter.

Members of the public are invited to enjoy the socially distanced, evening trail to see their neighbourhood in a whole new light. This is a fun community event that everyone can join in with. A map of all windows taking part can be found at: www.windowwanderland.com/event/gloucester-2020/

Window art can be seen in Matson, White City, Robinswood and Podsmead and will be illuminated every day between 5.30pm and 8.30pm before ending on Christmas Eve. The project was unveiled on Tuesday 1 December at Matson Gateway Hub, by the Mayor of Gloucester, Councillor Kate Haigh.

A number of local artists have created feature windows which include:

• ‘The Robin’s Wood’ by Harriet West – Matson Gateway Hub, Matson & Robinswood
• ‘Winter Wanderland’ by Anita Andrews, Podsmead Big Local, Podsmead
• ‘Christmas Baubles’ by Susie Walker, Manuel’s Fish & Chips, White City

Local residents can also create their own displays and take part in the trail by becoming Windowmakers. Taking part is FREE and everyone is welcome. Displays should be family friendly, be simple or spectacular and take the form of lights in the window or cut-out silhouettes.
