Right Up Our Street 〰️ 10 Year Anniversary 〰️ Rossington Window Wanderland 〰️ 2021 〰️



Right Up Our Street were so excited to be support a community led Window Wanderland | Day of the Dead in Rossington.

Window Wanderland is an award-winning, COVID-safe event that can bring joy and animation to a community just by decorating a window with bright colours or drawings.

The Mexican holiday of ‘Day of the Dead’ is a way to celebrate the memory of those we’ve lost in a positive way. You could decorate your window with images of flowers or sugar skulls or be creative and do something completely different!


FREE DROP IN WORKSHOPS

We put on two free craft sessions at Holmescarr Community Centre over half term for Rossington to drop in and create beautiful artwork for their window displays and work on a collaborative piece, led by textile artist Karen Hall.

A big thank you to everyone who took part in the Rossington Window Wanderland – Day of the Dead! We loved seeing your beautiful window displays on Tuesday.

As this is the first time we have brought Window Wanderland to your community we would love to know if you have any feedback for us for when we plan future events in Rossington.

If you have taken part in any workshops with us, had a craft bag delivered through schools or observed the fantastic displays across the community (The Styrrup Pub, Holmescarr Community Centre, The Royal Care Home, Memorial Hall etc.) we would love to know your thoughts.

If you complete the survey you will be entered into a prize draw for tickets for Aladdin, this years panto at Cast, for a family of four. A big thank you to Cast for providing the tickets.
