As part of the Chadwell St Mary Art Trail launching this August, we’re inviting every household, shop, and community space to turn our streets into a magical outdoor gallery. Whether you are a seasoned artist or a first-timer, your window can help tell the story of our community.

You don’t need to be an expert – all you need is a willingness to have a go! Whether you have 10 minutes to hang a few decorations or a whole afternoon to transform every street-facing window, there are plenty of ways to join in:
