You don’t have to venture far to be dazzled by a fantastic display of Christmas lights.

A Cuckfield family have been providing the village with a festive treat for the past 10 years, raising hundreds of pounds for good causes.

The display, created by Mike and Wendy Jourdain outside their home in Hatchgate Lane, has become a Christmas tradition for the village and attracts dozens of well-wishers and even the odd coach party!

“In the past we’ve raised money for the Food Bank, Help for Heroes, Chestnut Tree House and the homeless charity Off the Fence,” said Wendy. “This year we’ve chosen Open Doors who are working in Syria.”

“It’s nice to do something that gets the family, the street and the community together.”

The couple celebrated the annual ‘switching on ceremony’ on 8th December with friends and neighbours and intend to keep the lights shining until early in the New Year.
