Atlantis Autumn Festival of Lights

Date published: 25 October 2015


The Atlantis Autumn Festival of Lights came to Heywood on Saturday.

Held at Croft Crimble Community Centre, the festival saw a variety of holistic therapies, as well as stalls and readings available to those in attendance.

Therapies available included reiki, reflexology, Indian Head massage and hot stones.

Stalls included crystals, hand made jewellery, hand made cards and portraits.

Organiser Collette Dickson said: “There used to be a festival of lights held in Heywood a few years ago but when the minister passed, it kind of got forgotten about so myself and Linda Stewart decided to bring it back.”

Money raised from the festival will go to Smile Train, an international children’s charity with a sustainable approach to a single, solvable problem – cleft lip palate.

Money raised through the sale of refreshments was being donated to the MND Association.

Collette added: “It has gone really well. We are really chuffed with the response we have had.”
