The house spectacularly transformed into a Christmas toy box to raise money for children's charity

A house in Weston-super-Mare has been transformed into a spectacular Christmas toy shop to raise money for Children's Hospice South West.

John Burge from Clevedon has been lighting up his home in Spencer Drive, Worle, since 2011 after a family friend's seven-year-old son died of leukaemia.

This loss inspired John to get involved with the local hospice.

This is when he came up with the idea of transforming his own house into a retro children's toy shop.

Since the first ever light switch on eight-years ago, John has raised more than £2,000 for the hospice and attracted hundreds every to his drive every winter.

It takes the 40-year-old two months to hand paint all the lights and build the structures.

He even creates a bay window to add to the front of the house.
