1st February 2015
TIP OF THE WEEK
What: Window Wanderland // Where: Bishopston // When: Saturday 7th Feb (5-8pm) // Cost: Free
The people of Bishopston look to make a play for the most novel community project of 2015 thus far with a brand new event where residents themselves create a walking trail of displays.
Imagine walking around your streets at night seeing your neighbours windows and gardens in a whole new light! What goes into these displays is completely up to everyone. It could be a lounge lit by candles; your art in the window; a display of your favourite books, or a projected film.
The printed map will be available at outlets along the Gloucester Road.
