Terry Christmas One And All: Long Lane Lights Confirmed For 24th Year

Long Lane's iconic Christmas lights display, organised by Islanders Terry and Sue Ramplin, will switch on next month — accompanied by a marching band and (with your help) Father Christmas.

The pair have been lighting up their home at 68 Long Lane, Staplers for the last 24 years — raising more than £40,000 for local charities in the process.

This year's display will take place on Saturday November 25.

For the second season running, it will be raising funds for the Isle of Wight Prostate Cancer Support Group, to which they also donated £4,879 last year.

This year's festivities will get underway with the Wight Diamonds Marching Band playing Christmas songs from 5.45pm, with lights switching on at 6pm.

Terry told Isle of Wight Radio:

"We try to make a little bit of joy and happiness for the children and ourselves at Christmas time.

"Our donations to the Prostate Cancer Support Group have allowed hundreds of men to get tested, with dozens of positive findings."

Terry also revealed that he's hoping Santa will provide one final Christmas miracle for the event.

"I am in desperate need of a (visit from) Father Christmas," Terry said, "We need Santa to hand out sweets to children for a couple of hours — so please get in touch if you know of anyone who can help!"

Anyone who can offer assistance is asked to phone Terry on 526089.
