Well Dressings

In 2018, there were five:

• 1. Main Well Dressing at the Jubilee Fountain, at the junction of Broadway and The Green (B6016)
• 2. Scouts Well Dressing on display next to the Jubilee Fountain during the first day of the event, then moved to the Methodist Church on Derby Road
• 3. Women’s Institute Well Dressing on display next to the Jubilee Fountain during the first day of the event, then moved to The Garden on the Green, a small public garden on the south side of The Green near St Andrew’s Church
• 4. Swanwick Primary School Well Dressing on display next to the Jubilee Fountain during the first day of the event, then moved to the garden of the Old School House, on the west side of The Green towards Pentrich Road
• 5. Swanwick School and Sports College Well Dressing on display next to the Jubilee Fountain during the first day of the event, then moved to the School entrance on The Delves, near its junction with Hayes Lane (do not confuse with Swanwick Hall School, which is nearer to the village centre)

For best viewing of the Main Well Dressing, visit during the afternoon of the first day, when the railings of the Jubilee Fountain are temporarily removed.
