Could this be the most festive house in the whole region?
If you’re driving past the Kinnears’ home in the village of Four Marks this Christmas, you’ll be greeted by a dazzling display that’s truly taken Christmas cheer to the next level.
In 2022 there were 15,000 lights adorning the Kinnears’ house in Goldcrest Way. Last year that increased to 20,000, and this time there are 25,000!
Every single bulb is carefully installed by hand, and, just to make things even more magical, they’re all choreographed to Christmas music.
Every year, the Kinnears transform their home into a Christmas wonderland that gets bigger and brighter each time.
The display attracts visitors every evening from 4.30pm to 8pm and all they have to do to enjoy the experience is press a big red button.
It began on December 16 and continues until December 31.
Clare Kinnear said: “Our musical Christmas lights display runs every year in aid of charities we hold close to our hearts. All money collected goes directly to the charity.
“All the lights are programmed to Christmas songs over December and pop songs after Christmas for around a week.
“We’re raising funds for two wonderful causes this year - Havant and East Hants Mind, supporting mental health in our community, and Broadlands Group RDA, dedicated to enriching lives through horse-riding therapy. Every donation makes a difference and we’re so grateful for any support you can provide.
“Please respect our very lovely neighbours and do not block the road. Keep children off the road and our grass and remember to turn your car engine and lights off.
“We add to the display each year so keep coming back to support us. Enjoy the show and the snow!”
There is a collection bucket outside but donations can also be made online. For the Broadlands Group RDA, visit https://www.justgiving.com/page/kinnearschristmashouse, and for Havant and East Hants Mind go to https://www.justgiving.com/page/kinnearschristmashouse-mind
