A couple from Llanfarian have turned the outside of their house into an illuminated winter wonderland to raise money for the local school.

Mike Edwards and Angela Owen put up a range of moving, festive-themed, hand-made illuminations outside their house earlier this month for the seventh year running.

With each passing year the decorations, lights and illuminations become more intricate and spectacular.

Last year the couple, from Cwm Glas, raised money for Ysgol Llanfarian and Cylch Meithrin.

Proceeds from this year’s lights will be donated to the school and visitors are urged to donate in a collection box outside the house.

The lights, which were turned on 3 December, have already attracted dozens of visitors.

The tradition to decorate the outside of their home started seven years ago when Mike made a mechanical Father Christmas out of scrap materials which moved along their fence.

Two years later, Mike’s inventions progressed further, and started becoming more of an event, with family and friends invited to an official switch-on party, with food and drinks, including Angela’s homemade mince pies.

Cwm Glas can be found on the A485 Llanilar road just after the junction with the A487.
