It’s December again!
We have a new song for 2023, The Polar Express. I’ve also upgraded the train, including a light up carriage and ‘reindeer transport’ to help Santa on his way. This years display is dedicated to the memory of Jonathon Fernyhough, with extra train appearances just for him.
You can watch a video of this years display below.

The last week of Autunm term 2022 is here once more, and after a busy weekend of unboxing snowmen and unraveling meters of cables, the display is up and running!
The display is back in its usual place this year in reception, and runs from 8AM till 6PM Weekdays.

December is nearly here again, and it’s the last week of term, which can only mean one thing – it’s time for the CS Christmas Lights!
The display is back in its usual place this year in reception, and runs from 8AM till 6PM Weekdays. Due to other work commitments, there wasn’t a live switch on this year, but I’ll try and do a live stream before Christmas.

Well what a year 2020 has been….. but the Christmas Lights are back to bring some festive cheer! The display is a little different this year, and instead of being in reception they will be live streamed to the internet.
Going Live!
From the 2nd December we will be going live daily from 4.30pm till 5.00pm, with the last show on the 24th December. If we are live, the show should appear below:
You can also watch directly on Twitch. I hope you all stay safe & well this Christmas, and here’s to 2021!
Mery Christmas, and a Happy New year.

Well, what a year 2020 has been (and it isn’t over yet!).
Under the current circumstances, the lights will be a little different this year. The plan is to set them up in a remote location, and then stream them live to the internet. This is all very untested, so it might take a little while to get right (if it works at all!).
The aim is to have a live stream up by the 1st December, but as always work/life commitments may push the date back.
Check back again soon for updates and in the meantime, stay safe.
December is here again, which can only mean one thing – Christmas Lights!
The display was officially switched on Monday 2nd December with mulled wine and Christmas carols. The show runs from 9AM till 6PM Weekdays, the last show this year will be on Monday 23rd December.

Merry Christmas!

Installation for 2018 is well underway, most of the lights are now installed with just some finishing touches needed. This year I’m making use of LED Pixels, so I’ve got built myself a new controller 🙂
I’m using the SanDevices E682 controller, which is a big step up for me as its a “professional” grade bit of kit using network connectivity to stream the control signals. Learning fast!
So it turns out I forgot to post for the 2017 lights display, which is a shame as it was a good un!
The lights were dedicated to the late Dr Alan Wood, with a festive rendition of “All around my hat” by Steeleye Span. If you didn’t get to see them, check out the video on YouTube. I’ll try and do better this year and post updates on the web as well as Twitter/Facebook 🙂
It’s offi
cially Christmas season, and the lights are in full swing! The switch on was broadcast live to Facebook, a HD video of this years display will appear over the next few weeks. The display runs from 8Am till 6PM daily, so still plenty of time to see the show if you couldn’t make it to the switch on.
Merry Christmas!
