It's just over a week until the second Dorchester Window Wanderland kicks off and residents are encouraged to take part.

On the evenings on March 4, 5 and 6 from 6pm to 9pm, residents and visitors will eb able to enjoy an outdoor trail of decorated windows. They can plan their walk around the windows using an interactive map available at windowwanderland.com

And as many residents as possible are encouraged to decorate a their window to the theme of 'spark joy' - anything that makes you happy or 'sparks joy'.

Kathy O'Borne, volunteer organiser of Dorchester Window Wanderland, said: "We are hoping that this year's window wanderland is even bigger and better than 2021. Last year was a really lovely community event.

"With half term, Dorchester Window Wanderland is a perfect project for the whole family to get involved in.

"If you're not sure what to put in your window, just visit our Facebook page @wwdorch - we will be sharing lots of tips and ideas."

It is easy to get involved and register your home or business as part of the Dorchester Window Wanderland trail. If you want to make a display, visit windowwanderland.com

Residents loved taking part in the first Dorchester Window Wanderland last year.

Comments include:

"Thank you. It was perfect timing as we are new to Dorchester and it gave me something to do to feel involved."

"Thank you for organising, it's been so nice to have something creative and positive to focus on. My three-year-old twins gave me a helping hand."

And:

"It has been amazing driving around looking at all the amazing windows. A lot of work has gone into designing them. I know there is a lot more to see. Thank you so much everyone for bringing so much joy to everyone, It would be lovely if this was done every year."
