Home decorated to raise funds for air ambulance

A Spalding couple have for the sixth year decorated their house for Christmas to raise money for charity.

Steve Marriott and Cath Cole’s home at 4 Farthingales is having its big switch on is at 6.30pm tomorrow (Saturday, November 29) as it looks to raise money for the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance.

The elaborate displays involve 3-D printing, music, 80,000 lights and, this year, recycled signs.

Cath said: “This has become a real obsession for Steve, who has always enjoyed working with lights and music.

“Back in the day, he was a local DJ, so you could say that was the start of it all.

“Although decorating the house at Christmas started in lockdown. Just to bring a bit of joy and happiness to our street. It has almost literally snowballed from there. 

“We both love Christmas and it’s nice to spread a bit of joy. It’s really lovely watching the parents and children walking by from school every afternoon. They stop and look at the lights and dance in the street. 

“Please come along bring the family and friends for our Big Switch On. November 29 at 6.30pm. 

“Then the lights will be on everyday from 3.30pm until 9pm. Up until New Year’s Eve.”
