IT has been four years since a North Somerset plant nursery brought Christmas to life at its very own emporium.

In 2019, Middlecombe Nursery, in Congresbury, set up a festive project, called the Imaginarium, to reflect Christmas from over the years.

Owner Nigel North and his friend Bob decorated a series of shops around the nursery, which were filled with toys and colourful decorations.

Visitors of all ages dropped by to marvel at the festive displays.

"We've even seen people who are in their 70s and 80s come by.

"The Imaginarium is full of dreams and inspiration of Christmas from the past, present and the future. It's lovely because there's something in there for people of all ages."
