Need a bit of Christmas cheer on this wet and windy December morning? Take a minute to flick through the photo gallery above and watch the video showing the famous Fenny Bridges Christmas display.

This year marks 30 years since the Disney-inspired festive scene has been bringing the magic of Christmas to those who visit, many of whom travel especially to see the colourful set up.

Honiton Nub News met the couple behind the hand created installation last year, Sue and Arthur Priggen - back when we were allowed to enter their home, turned Santa's Grotto. Click here to read more and to see the festive treasure trove indoors.

This year, we spoke to Arthur outside his house, who told us: "It's 30 years since we first started doing it and 28 years we've been running a fundraiser for Devon Air Ambulance.

"We hope to keep it going as long as we can."

Referring to a new addition to the beautifully painted wooden board family, Arthur said: "We wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to our NHS, because they've done marvellous."

If you would like to donate, there is a Just Giving page or a collection box attached to the gate.
