Is this the best Halloween display in Bristol?

By Charlie Watts  Saturday Oct 30, 2021

A Halloween display taking up much of a house and its front garden could be the best in Bristol.

Ian and Ann Cooper have covered their home with an estimated 5,000 lights for the spooky celebration.

It’s taken the couple two weeks to put up all the decorations for ‘Coopers Light Show‘, which also features music and a smoke machine.

The haunted display on Andover Road in Knowle is part of the South Bristol Halloween Trail and is for a good cause, raising money for the Bristol Animal Rescue Centre.
