There was an Illuminated Barge Event held at Foxton Locks on December 17th.
The event split into two main features... by the water the canal boats all brightly lit with Christmas Lights and a giant fiery Christmas Tree. In the field by the canal there were food and ber stalls, childrens rides and a music stage.
The day proved to be cold and misty, developing into a fairly thick fog by the end... but that created a wonderful atmosphere and made for a really good day.
I have split the images from the event into two separate pages... this one for the event itself, the second being images of the people at the event:
