Those of you heading to the Peak District this autumn might wish to go along to the Matlock Bath Illuminations held at the River Derwent.
Taking place every weekend from September 4th to October 30th, the event involves a parade of illuminated and decorated boats.
Each vessel is mounted with models comprising thousands of pea lights, which appear to be floating along the water when the boats themselves disappear into the night.
In addition, visitors might like to take a stroll around the Derwent Gardens where trees and rocks will be lit up.
Certain illumination nights will also feature a fireworks display, which could be an added bonus for the kids.
While you're in the area, why not make day of it and explore Matlock Bath itself, which offers boating, play areas and skateboarding at the parks along the River Derwent.
Holidaymakers might like to visit the Riber Castle overlooking the town, which was built by John Smedley.
