It brings a whole new meaning to spring spruce up.

A family has once again gone all out to decorate their home with a seasonal display.

A tour of this year's decorations

The Hedges from Gillingham have collected thousands for different causes over the past two years.

Daughter Lavinia Hedges said: "It started back at Halloween 2020, Covid played a big part, everyone was stuck indoors or could only go on walks so we decided to put up some decorations and the feedback was just incredible.

"It brightened up people's days and there was not anything like this in our community.

"The response has been just unbelievable, a lot of hard work goes into putting on our displays but the effort is all worth it when you see hundreds of happy faces, whether it be young children or 90 year olds, it truly appeals to everyone.

"We would love to see some spring on people's doorsteps.

"We encourage you to get involved with the kids to make a door wreath or be creative and decorate your front window, I guarantee the people who walk past will give a big smile and that is a lovely feeling."

The children's entertainer added her mum Nicola plays a huge part in the creative process and their decorations are found hunting through charity shops, boot fairs and pound shops.

The family, of Wigmore Road, are using this year's Disney-inspired spring display to collect money for Rainham-based charity My Shining Star, which supports families and provide magical experience for children and parents.

Lavinia said: "Unlike large charities, you can see where every penny goes, whether it be helping to pay for travel up to the children’s hospital in London so the child can get their chemo or granting the terminally-ill child’s last wish of having a the best day ever with their best friend.

"The work it does is out of this world and they deserve every donation."

The family will also be collecting pasta sauce, long-life milk, tinned potatoes and tinned fruits in a trolley in their driveway for The Medway Foodbank.

Last year, they wowed neighbours with a spring inspired door, winter wonderland and haunted mansion which brought in almost £10,000 in donations.
