If you didn’t manage to see them, you can find photos, information about the displays and our local artists who designed the artworks on our page.
The Greg Fountain.
Display designed by local artist, Caroline Constable of ‘Run Walk Draw’.
The Greg Fountain, opened in 1904, has been the centrepiece of Bollington’s Well Dressing celebrations since the start in 2005. This memorialises the Greg family, who did so much for the village and inhabitants of Bollington.
This dressing celebrates the fantastic Bridgend Centre in Bollington, an independent charity that is right at the heart of the community. Established in 1990, it recently celebrated thirty-five years of care and support to improve the quality of life for residents and community members here. It depends on an enormous number of volunteers to continue to offer the incredibly wide range of activities, resources and interactions that make it such a well-loved and valued place.
This year a total of 118 people volunteered at least once during the year, with approximately 50 volunteering on a weekly basis. Volunteers worked for the Bridgend Centre for 6,243 hours during the year, which is valued at approximately £90,086 to the local community! This represents support and services for around 2000 people in one form or another. Staggering!
The smaller dressing here has been designed and created by the residents of Mount Hall who have chosen to celebrate all the ‘hands’ who represent their community and work together.
Caroline Constable
Bollington-based artist Caroline Constable (Run Walk Draw) combines her passion for running and walking with a love of exploration, adventure, and artistic discovery.
Her work is known for its loose, flowing lines and strong use of colour, often created with marker pens in a continuous line style, resulting in highly expressive pieces, full of energy and movement. Journeys, everyday surroundings, and a curiosity about the world all inform her practice, giving it a sense of exploration while remaining rooted in familiar places.
Caroline was really pleased to be invited to take part in this year’s Bollington Well Dressing and has enjoyed being involved in something that means a lot to the local community.
