The organisers have raised thousands of pounds for important causes
Families across Nottinghamshire have been sharing the touching stories behind some of the most spectacular Christmas displays across the county. For almost 20 years, the Swift family, who live in Laurel Crescent in Nuthall, have been decorating their house and their garden, raising thousands of pounds for separate charities.
Each year thousands of people visit the winter wonderland, which was opened in November and will be open until January 1. Speaking ahead of the opening date, Mr Swift said: "Santa nights could get up to 1,500 people. We say the more the merrier, if there is a Santa night, which is a Friday and Saturday night, then there will be queues but we'll have the shop open with donations for cakes, drinks, hot chocolate.
Mr Carter, who donates money he raises to the RSPCA Radcliffe Animal Centre, said he was overwhelmed by the number of people who turned up for the lights switch on. "People's generosity again has been tremendous," he said.
