HEMYOCK lit up for a spectacular lights parade on Saturday evening.
A lantern procession led by a samba band wound its way through the village, switching on lights strung through the trees as they went.
The theme of the event was the Hemyock 'Light' Railway, and a giant steam engine lantern was the centrepiece of the parade.
The marchers were accompanied by illuminated tractors, provided by the Young Farmers.
The evening culminated with the lighting of a Christmas star on top of the church tower in the village centre, and songs from the primary school choir.
Parade organiser Tim Martin said: "The whole village joined in with lantern-making, music-making and practical support.
"We're really grateful for the help we have had from the parish council and local businesses."
