What is Window Wanderland?

Window Wanderland is a fun family-friendly event where communities create illuminated displays in windows. You can use the street-facing windows of your home, business, school, nursery, car, shop, or even your door, or front garden. A map showing the locations of illuminated window displays is then created to form an after-dark walking trail and community event, transforming local streets into galleries.

Successful Window Wanderland events have been organised by community groups across the UK since 2015, when the first event was held in Bristol. Ely’s Window Wanderland event is being organized and promoted by two of the city’s arts organisations, The Stained Glass Museum and Babylon ARTS, and a fantastic team of community volunteers

Thank you to the City of Ely Council for their generous grant in support of this annual event.
