And that's a wrap for 2021 see you in 2022

25/12/2021

And 404 lower queen streets display is closed thank you everyone who has visited and the words of thanks and joy, as most of you probably know we are moving away from string lights next year so the lights I have at the moment are for sale as well as the inflatables for a reasonable price, next year we are going to have a fully animated display which I'm looking forward to a new adventure to learn. But for now we hope you had a merry Christmas and we wish you'll all the best for a safe and happy 2022 and we can't wait to see you from November 27th 2022 for our next display.
