LEE Blackett’s DIY hobby has resulted in a blockbuster festive lights show to raise money for Bluebell Wood children’s hospice.

Lee is a lorry driver by trade, but has a long-standing passion for electronics and DIY construction, which has led to the light show at his home in Baker Close, Kilnhurst, which features two talking Christmas trees and sychronised music, as well as a dazzling lights show.

This is the third year he has staged the event, after creating more modest displays at his parents’ house, and will have two nightly ‘performances’ from Friday to Christmas Eve, at 6pm and again at 7pm.

His creations are all scratch-built and he did a similar Halloween show, which saw crowds of around 80 people filling the cul-de-sac where he lives.

"I always loved electronics when I was at school, and it has stemmed from there,” he said.

Bluebwell Wood was identified as a good cause for people to make donations.
