Scarborough electrician Nigel Watkinson has transformed his home into a winter wonderland after spending more than £10,000 to create a Santa's garden.

Nigel used 30,000 bulbs to create the display – and this year, he is raising money for Saint Catherine’s.

The display is in memory of his dad, Brian, who died earlier this year aged 75.
