The 1st edition was a great success! With more than 200 window displays around the town and surrounding villages, put together by local residents, businesses and organisations.

The 2022 event starts from 14 January running until 14 February. This year, We have joined forces with LoveYeovil, as part of a wider programme which provide our community the activities to support the mental health and general wellbeing, building resilience during this difficult time, with the funding received by South Somerset District Council. Alongside the funding support from Arts Council England and Co-op Local Community Fund, Yeovil Window Wanderland once again promises to light up our town and for all to enjoy!
