A church was filled with 50 Christmas trees for a festival that raised £2,400 for a clean water charity.
Oakham Congregational Church hosted the Rutland Christmas Tree Festival on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Businesses, charities and schools decorated trees and visitors voted for their favourite entries.
Trees were then sold at the end of the festival, raising a total of £2,400 for WaterAid.
The adult category was won by the Oakham Knit and Natter Club, while Brooke Priory School Year 1 pupils won the children’s section.
