Ian and Ann Cooper have covered their house on Andover Road in Knowle with an estimated 9,500 lights - up 1,500 from last year.


Hundreds of people come out yearly to see the Coopers’ Light Show, dubbed the brightest Halloween display in Bristol. It made national headlines last year after BristolWorld first reported on it.

Bus driver and foster carer Ian started putting up the lights for this year’s display at the start of September, which he jokes is an “addiction”.


“It’s well-attended; I’ve had kids dancing on the driveway. They love it and have such a good time,” he told BristolWorld.

People have come from as far as London to see the display, with one woman last year visiting two nights in a row from Frome.
The Coopers Light Show runs nightly until Thursday, October 31, from 5pm to 9pm. The house will also be lit up for Remembrance Sunday and again through December.
