Police have dispersed a group of around 25 people who travelled to a picturesque valley and set up a camp 'to see the moon'.
Contrary to Covid-19 restrictions, some travelled to the Goyt Valley, near Buxton, from as far a field as London.
Buxton Police revealed the incident on Facebook, sparking a string of tongue-in-cheek comments from the public.
One Facebook poster said: "Imagine travelling from London to see the moon you could see from London."
People from Manchester were also there, police added.
It's understood the gathering was to catch a glimpse and take photographs of the moon on Halloween.
Tonight's moon - a rare Hunter's Blue Moon - will be the last full moon to fall on Halloween until 2039.
The Goyt Valley - part of the Peak District National Park - is also reputed to be the setting for a number of spooky stories.
Those present were 'given advice' by police and sent away from the area.
On Facebook, Buxton Police said: "Police have dispersed a large group of around 25 people from a woodland area in the Goyt Valley.
"They had set up a camp and had travelled from as far as London, Liverpool and Manchester to see the Moon.
"Suitable advice given and sent on their way."
The second full moon of the month is known as a Blue Moon.
A Hunter's Moon gets its name from traditional hunters who would use the full moon's light to stock up on food ahead of winter.
Today it symbolises dreams and desires.
