Eastcott's Window Wanderland is set to create a magical walking trail in February, for the fifth year in a row.
Organisers are encouraging householders and businesses in the area to decorate their windows using the theme Love the Planet but display makers are welcome to let their imaginations run wild and create any scene they like.
They can be as simple as a candle or lights, to works of art in tissue paper.
The event has had public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England and this has allowed workshops to be held.
People can pick up materials free of charge at the workshops as well as get inspiration and help with their designs.
These will be held on four Sundays: January 29, February 5, 12 and 19, at Eastcott Community Centre in Savernake Street from 2pm to 4pm.
"Window Wanderland brings a lot of pleasure: it’s lovely to view the windows and to see so many people out and about on the walking trail. Last year was a great success so we're delighted to be running the event again,” said community centre co-chair Lauren Wallis.
"It's a great way of bringing the community together, particularly in times like these, and everybody in Eastcott is welcome to take part. Although the core area tends to be in the Old Town part of Eastcott, the ward includes Drove Road and the areas around Queen’s Park and Commercial Road.
“It would be lovely to see people in streets that haven’t taken part in the past signing up. Let’s spread the light!”
The centre will also be open on February 25, in the evening for residents to pick up maps and enjoy a hot drink.
If you wish to have your name printed in the event, organisers are urging window-makers to sign up online now to be included in the map which will be given out to guide viewers for the event.
The displays will be up between 6pm and 9pm from February 24 to 26.
