Wighting up the Island - Andrew Rowe

All welcome to the Christmas Lights Grand Switch for Macmillan Cancer Care

Isle of Wight resident Andrew Rowe has been in touch to let readers know that once again he and his family will be lighting up their home to raise money for charity this Christmas.

Since the early 2000s they have transformed the outside of their home in Gunville with Christmas lights and decorations.

The grand switch
The Rowes took a break from it last, but are back again this year and will be raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The grand switch takes place at 7.30pm on Sunday 27th November and the lights will be on display every night until 1st January between 7.30pm and 10pm.

Take a look around
Andrew is keen for people to do more than just drive past the house.

He says,

“We are keen for people to stop outside and wonder around the front garden as we have a ‘shed’ that houses a surprise inside, that is one of the main features of this year’s display.

“The other main feature this year is our computerised mega tree (possibly the only one of its kind on the Island) which flashes to music which is played for all to enjoy!”

To give you an idea of what’s come before, here are some pics from previous years.
