Shirehampton Window Wanderland
It’s Not Too Late To Join Shirehampton’s Window Wanderland.
This year’s Window Wanderland takes place from 11th March to 13th March from 6pm until 9pm each night in Shirehampton. It originally featured local residents doing their own designs displayed in their front windows but this year Shirehampton Window Wanderland is expanding.
They are working with several local artists – Annelies, Juliet & Sarah – who will work with local schools and groups as well as individuals who will contribute to our High Street shops and business window designs to make the area as bright and welcoming as possible, following the footsteps of Shire Christmas Illuminations.
Some shops will feature daytime themed designs and others will have night time Window Wanderland designs shining brightly on our very own High Street.
There will be opportunities again for workshops providing ideas and materials for all people and families who’d like to participate in this year’s event. You don’t have to be artistic, just an idea that can be turned into reality for your home windows. 
In the meantime there are workshops taking place every Thursday from 3pm until 8pm at the JTE Hub based at the Methodist Church that faces the High Street in Shirehampton.
You could be helping with the High Street window art which will be a hive of activity or just need advice for your own home window design. This is an event to bring our community and High Street together.
“I am hoping that our artwork will brighten up our high street and make people smile. I also hope the publicity will bring people from other parts of Bristol to enjoy it too.” said Juliet Le Feuvre
Whilst Sarah Trigg said “Our community and our High Street are really worth celebrating and this is a brilliant, creative way to do it. I hope loads of people feel welcome to contribute and many more have fun spotting all the art.”
Meanwhile Annelies Egli concluded: “This project is a great opportunity for local creatives to collaborate and share their ideas and experience with one another and the public. I hope that this one off event will light the way to future events and exhibitions which bring together, showcase and celebrate local talent.”
John Hastings has been co-ordinator for Shirehampton’s Window Wanderland event and can’t wait to see all the window displays that have been made in recent weeks not only for homes but the local shops as well. “Shirehampton’s Community Plan Committee decided that the High Street would really benefit from a pick me up at the end of a long winter. Following the previous success of BS11 Window Wanderland, grant money form the High Street Funds were allocated and some local artists have stepped forward to help decorate the windows of many of the local businesses. Let’s hope it’s a great success for everyone involved”.
