Bristol brothers Lee and Paul Brailsford have been decorating their mother’s house in Trevisa Grove, Brentry, since 1994 and this year’s display is bigger and better than ever.

The family has been fundraising for charity since 2007 and they have raised over £101,000 since.

All the money raised goes to The Grand Appeal which invests the funds in Bristol Children’s Hospital and St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). 

This year, the focus is on funding ventilators – a vital piece of equipment that helps critically ill babies and children breathe. T

he stunning festive display is complete with their famous cookie cabin, which is open Fridays and Saturdays with raffles, hot chocolate and sweet treats.

The lights on the display go on daily from 5pm to 9pm. And a special guest in a big red suit will be visiting on Christmas Eve from 4pm to 6pm.
