Lucie Cooke, who lives in Clitheroe, transformed shop fronts into magical and unique seasonal scenes in the run up to Christmas and created a fundraising trail challenge for people to complete.

There were 24 businesses involved in total and the aim of the fun-filled trail was to raise money for Young Epilepsy after Lucie's three-year-old son, Beau, was diagnosed with the condition last summer.

"I would also like to thank all the shops and businesses who took part and agreed to let me draw a candy cane on their window and in particular to Anderton Bossonet, Raffia, Violets, Salon One30 and Glitterball Kids events for selling the maps for me. The total raised was £600, smashing my original target of £100!"
