Tenbury's Mistletoe Festival taking place as planned following recent flooding
The festival has been running in the town since 2005
A mistletoe festival, which has been held yearly since the early 2000s in Tenbury Wells, is set to still go ahead this weekend, despite the town suffering recent flooding.
The Worcestershire town's centre was flooded towards the end of November following Storm Bert, when the Kyre Brook burst its banks and caused a wall to collapse.
Clean-up operations have been taking place for businesses and those affected in the area in the last two weeks, tidying up the mess from the floodwater.
Diann Dowell is the chair of the Tenbury Mistletoe Association, and she says this year's event is an important one for the community following what has happened.
She said: "I am very sympathetic to everything that has happened in the town, but we need a positive, and with the timing, that can be this mistletoe festival.
"The response from the community has been phenomenal, I'm overwhelmed by it, but we're not taking our foot off the pedal until we've got to the day itself.
"With the bark of the apple trees being soft, the mistletoe would grow on that, and because everywhere had apple trees, that's why the mistletoe is important here."
The event has been held on the first Saturday in December since 2005.
