The Great Glen Wheelbarrow Race returned over the weekend after a gap of two years due to the pandemic.

It was the 12th year the event took place for Leicestershire’s LOROS Hospice – which it has raised some £35,000 during that time.

It saw adult and children’s races, stalls and activities on the recreation ground and was followed by a BBQ and live music at the Royal Oak.

Previously the event has taken place around the village.
