A Halloween-crazy grandad has decorated his house, going all out for his fourth year of bringing joy to Woodley children.

Ronnie Goodberry, 63, of 117 Shackleton Way, began decorating his house during the pandemic to give locals something to look forward to.

Since then the decorations have gotten bigger and more extravagant each year, and this year scaffolding has been erected to protect the many Halloween figures from being blown away - a lesson learnt after a storm last year left Mr Goodberry collecting his damaged fallen figures.

It took Mr Goodberry 12 days to complete this year's ensemble.

"It is the biggest one I have done so far," he said.

"We have a six-foot punk rocker, we have country-western skeleton fiddlers playing, a graveyard and working guillotine which chops dummies heads off.

"People need to come and have a look and have a play."

Mr Goodberry operates the display from midday to 9pm.

"The neighbours absolutely love it. The kids come around and play in it all the time.

"I go round and ask the neighbours beforehand and they always give me the green light with no problem."

After a cancer scare earlier this year, Mr Goodberry wanted to make this Halloween extra special with worries it would be his last.

However, in recent months, he has been given the all-clear, a huge relief to himself and his family.

On top of Halloween, Mr Goodberry also makes displays for Christmas and Easter, each in aid of charity.

"This year we are doing it for BIDS - Babies in Buscot Support - an intensive care unit at the Royal Berkshire Hospital for babies," Mr Goodberry said.

"People can donate through the BIBS Just Giving page, scan the QR code at mine or drop cash in the bucket."

Anyone donating through the JustGiving page is asked to give the reference Halloween.

Last year the display raised over £400.

Trick-or-treaters will also be able to get their fill from a bucket of treats put out on October 30 and 31.
