Thousands of visitors turned out for a two-day miniature steam railway event.
Five miniature locomotives were in full steam at Stapleford Park, near Melton, along with vintage tractors.
There was a Punch and Judy show, craft and trade stalls and model railways.
The two days raised about £2,500 for LOROS hospice.
Jeremy Grice, of Friends of Stapleford Miniature Railway, which organised the event, said: "The weather forecast held a few visitors off and there weren't as many as we expected, but we still raised a good few quid for LOROS.
"There were about 4,000 to 5,000 visitors over the days."
The event will run over three days of the August bank holiday weekend next year to mark its 10th anniversary.
