Illuminations

We've not been to Matlock Bath Illuminations for 5 years but decided to go this year as it was the 120th year. Pictured is the "white pearl" and the DeLorean from Back to the Future, complete with Doc Brown and Marty inside! These are rowing boats with their designs added on by a local boat builders association.

There's a photo of a different boat in my project here - https://365project.org/roachling/365/2012-10-27

You can see all of 2017's boats in this short video I found on YouTube...

I'm glad you posted this, it's a long time since I've seen the illuminations at Matlock Bath!

I've never heard anyone talk about this which is a bit mysterious given local Matlock connections and working for the local newspaper!! Thanks for the info and lovely photo too.
