A Shinfield street has wowed the public with an incredible collection of lights for passers-by to enjoy.

An entire Wokingham Borough street has put on a spectacular display of lights for Christmas, with reindeer, snowman, candy canes and even a prehistoric dinosaur. 

It makes a great evening out for adults and children alike, to those who fancy popping down and taking a stroll around the street to take in the stunning sights. 

Reading Chronicle: Maybank, Shinfield

The homes in Maybank, Shinfield near Reading are strung together with 300,000 light bulbs unifying the street's festive display.

As you meander up the cul-de-sac, you will see glowing Christmas trees and icicles on each window ledge.

Further along the road are multi-coloured fairy lights covering hedges and candy canes in the lawn.

Colm Hanlon of Maybank said: "This is our 7th year and we try to get bigger and better each year. This year we have added an arch on the way in and more lights across the road. 

"I'm one of those who helps organise this. It takes a few months to organise it and this year we've done 26 houses and it's a big community spirit feeling.

"We had a switch on with 300 people where we managed to raise around £400 to £500 in a cake sale and mulled wine sale. It's lovely living in the street and seeing people smiling and taking photos. 

The lights get switched on from 4.30pm to 10pm everyday, raising money for two charities The Lily Foundation and NSPCC. 

Colm added: "There are loads of people in the street taking lots of photos and we're doing it for great causes.

"We chose the NSPCC as this time of year there are kids living in the cost of living crisis and Lily Foundation for one of our neighbours as the charity helped look after them.

"In previous years one resident in the street had cancer so raised money for Macmillan in honour of him. Every year we raise between 2,000 and £4,000 and we're already at £1,500. "

Colm has also given a shout out to Dan & Neil Estate Agents, Fullbrook window cleaning services, Omnia Outsourcing and Dobbies Garden Centre who have all helped sponsor the Christmas lights display.

Maybank residents are raising money through two Just Giving pages.
