Southend-on-Sea House Puts on Spectacular Christmas Light Display for Charity

Storyful

A house in Southend-on-Sea, England, has been covered top to bottom in Christmas lights to raise money for charity.

This footage, sent to Storyful on December 9, shows the lights at Peter Edgson’s home.

“I started doing the lights as a teenager and the display has just got bigger and bigger every year,” Edgson told The Echo in 2020.

Writing on his charity fundraiser page, Edgson said the money raised from hot chocolates on sale at the display would go to Great Ormond Street Hospital. Credit: Peter Edgson via Storyful
