This annual tradition brings the community together to celebrate the holiday season and support a cause that was close to Tyne Valley Motorhomes founder Derek Armstrong’s heart. 

Following his passing nearly two years ago, the Christmas lights at Mountsett House, Burnopfield, NE16 6AZ, have become a cherished tribute to his legacy.

Founder Derek Armstrong was not only a pioneer in his field nearly 30 years ago but also a man dedicated to spreading joy through his own creative light displays. 

Jonathan Bell, Managing Director of Tyne Valley Motorhomes and Derek’s stepson said: “Derek's Christmas lights were his way of bringing happiness to others, and we’re honoured to continue this tradition in his memory. 

"By supporting Daft as a Brush, we are keeping his generous spirit alive and helping those in need.”.
