Description: Jane Spowage has been putting up extravagant decorations around her home on Thornbridge Drive. After becoming a popular local landmark, she is using the opportunity to raise funds for Thornberry Animal Sanctuary.

A Sheffield family’s impressive Christmas decorations are not only spreading festive cheer but they are helping local animals in need.

For years now, Jane Spowage has been decorating her house for all the year’s most fun events.

In October, her house on Thornbridge Drive, Frecheville, was decked out for Halloween as she celebrated the spooky season, and now Santa Claus himself has come down to visit.

Fairy lights, tinsel and baubles - as well as a number of light-up statues - cover winter wonderland garden.

And it’s not just the festive spirit she’s trying to spread, as a Father Christmas statue holds a collection bucket as Jane raises funds for Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in Dinnington.
