Around 200 people turned out for the annual Boxing Day Tug of War and duck race in Rearsby.
The tradition began some 40 years ago with a tug of war between the two pubs in the village - The Horse and Groom and The Wheel Inn.
But over the years the event has grown and this year there about eight teams, including men, women and children competing.
Winners this year were the Star Tuggers from The Star Inn, Thrussington.
Second were the Log Cutters from Thurssington and in third place was the C team from The Horse and Groom in Rearsby.
The Tug of War was followed at noon by the annual duck race.
Steve Warn, who lives in the village and has organised the events for the past 24 years, said: "I was very pleased with the way it went.
"Money raised will be going to the hospice Loros and I am hoping that once of the money is counted we will get to about £1,000"
He added: "We will have a presentation to the winning teams towards the end of January but in the meantime I would like to thank all the teams which took part and all the people who came along."
