Hughenden was awash with colours last weekend as dozens of people turned out to celebrate the ancient Hindu festival Holi. 

The colourful event was held at the village hall on March 17 in a bid to raise cash for charity. 

Dozens turned out to enjoy food, music and dancing as well as taking part in the traditional throwing of colourful paints and water. 

The festival traditionally marks the end of winter and the start of spring, and is a celebration of unity.

As well as celebrating the festival, the fun event raised £900 for charity. 

It was organised by Inderpal and Anil Chandel, who run PreviousMoments, which aims to help poor children get an education. 

The Holi celebration will help raise funds for government schools in India to help provide children there with an education. 

Of the £900 raised, £225 will go to the Anika Food Charity.
