Wincobank Light Up The Hill - Behind the Scenes

Behind the scenes at Wincobank's annual Lantern Procession and Pageant. Each November, on Wincobank Hill in Sheffield, South Yorkshire UK, over 250 people walk by torchlight through ancient woodland and climb up to the hill fort in the dark to watch a re-enactment of the crucial moment in history when Queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes handed over the rebel King Caratacus to the Romans, in chains. On the way they see trees lit up by candle lamps, hear the haunting music of the lone piper Helena Reynolds on the hillside, see the University of Sheffield's fiery Iron Age forge and sway to Celtic melodies.

Surrounded by ancient woodland of oak, beech and birch, it occupies a commanding position on the hilltop overlooking the Lower Don Valley in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. Nearby, runs the route of the Roman Ridge, an ancient earthwork the origins and purpose of which are still a mystery. Previously thought to be a Roman road, the ridge which runs from Sheffield to Mexborough is now thought by some to be an even earlier construction, possibly to mark ancient boundaries.
