“We start planning in early November and it takes two or three days to set everything up. Sean gets up on the ladders and my son helps too,” explained Alan, whose daughter Clare is a nurse at the Hospice. “It’s nice that people come from all over the place to see them. My favourites are our 8ft inflatable Santa and a moving mechanical see-saw.
It started many years ago when Brian, Sean’s dad, decided to put a light or two out on the lawn and asked me if I was going to as well. It grew from there really and as more people started coming to see the lights, we decided to start raising money for charity.”
They have been supporting Hospice in the Weald since 2018 raising more than £6,500 over the past three years.
Alan added: “Last Christmas during lockdown was an exceptional year. We raised more than £3,000 for the Hospice, the most yet. Let’s see what we can do this year!”
Meanwhile passers-by in Barden Road can also enjoy a festive light display thanks to the efforts of Alan and Debbie Brown, who have raised more than £1,220 for the Hospice over the past three years.
“We are raising money for Hospice in the Weald because these great people help so many people,” say Alan and Debbie on their JustGiving page, where supporters have described how the lights brighten up walks home from work and are a big hit with children.
