The Queen Victoria Inn's Christmas display features more than 55,000 lights
A charming Somerset pub, known to be one of the most festive in the world, has lit up for Christmas for a good cause. The Queen Victoria Inn in Priddy, managed by Mark Walton and his wife Debs, has been adorned with over 55,000 lights for this week's grand switch-on.
This year has also seen the erection of a giant 26ft snowman outside the inn, decorated with an additional 2,500 wine bottles. "It's such a special time of year. And although the exterior display is pretty expansive, we do decorate slightly more subtly inside." This festive event involves runners following a 5 or 10-mile course around The Mendips. Now in its third year, the run starts at 11am from the pub, with participants returning to the Queen Vic to finish.
Over the years, Mark and his team have raised more than £25,000 for CHSW and are hoping this year will bring in a substantial collection.
