Bamford Well Dressing in the Making
Bamford dresses two wells in the Village each year. The main one is a joint endeavour which everyone is welcome to help out with, and a smaller one is made up by the Playgroup.
About
6th July 2026 - 10th July 2026
This ancient custom is unique to Derbyshire and is the art of decorating springs and wells with pictures made from natural materials.
We will be creating the Bamford Well Dressing 2026 during the week Monday 6th to Friday 10th July in the Art Room at Bamford Institute. It will be open each day to everyone who would like to come along to join in, we are always very welcoming to anyone who would like to find out more about Well Dressing. There will be a timetable displayed on each of the village noticeboard during the week.
