Cancellation of Well Dressing


Message from Cllr Gladwyn Gratton, Chair of Wirksworth Well Dressing Committee

“Considering the situation with the current Corona virus the Well Dressing committee have decided to cancel the event for this year.

As you can imagine this is not a situation I am happy with, but the safety of all our residents must come first. We hope to next year resume this historic tradition which both provides support to many charities (chosen by well dressing) and ofcourse brings pleasure to Wirksworth residents and visitors alike.

I will be contacting all individual well dressing organisations to advise them of the decision.“

The Town Council are supportive of the organisers decision to cancel this annual civic event.
