Marple Window Wonderland success!
This Spring Marple residents were invited by Marple based arts organisation Twisted Trees Productions to bring some joy and hope to the streets of Marple by creating and displaying their own window art in the windows of their houses. The window art was created from very simple paper materials and backlit at dusk to create a magical stained glass like effect for everyone to see and admire on an evening stroll or drive around. The theme was Spring: Hope and Joy, and Marple residents delivered this in abundance with their artwork.

The lighting is proposed to run for the full length of Market Street and Derby Way in the main town centre.
