Wendover is blooming with creativity, colour and community spirit – and we’re celebrating it all with this year’s Make Wendover Smile Competitions!

Whether you're a keen gardener, take pride in your front door, or have a creative shop window display, there’s a category for you. And this year, we’re excited to introduce a new way to get involved...

Nominate a Neighbour – Best Front Garden

Is there a front garden on your street that makes you smile every time you walk by? You can now nominate a neighbour for the Best Front Garden award! It's a great way to recognise and celebrate someone who brings colour and joy to the community.
