THE streets of Wotton under Edge have been transformed into a magical art gallery with hundreds of creative window displays.

For the second year running, residents have decorated their windows with colourful, ornate designs, which local people can enjoy on their daily walk.

Spearheaded by Under the Edge Arts, artworks have been created using tracing paper, tissue paper and black card in 500 windows for this year's for Wotton Window Wanderland event.

The theme of the designs is 'Celebrating Community' and the aim of the project is to raise people's spirits during lockdown.

One of the organisers, Martin Clarke said: "We had a terrific first year last February with Wotton Window Wanderland then Covid hit us.

"We soon decided to carry on in 2021 to give the town a lift. The response has been amazing with around 200 locations and 500 windows.

"It's a great way for the 5,000 people in the town to do their daily exercise.

"Next year is already booked and there will be one big party with lots of visitors showcasing this great little town."

The organisers have asked that people stick to the lockdown rules when viewing the displays.
