Another winter lighty event. This time Northern Lights in Heaton Park.
It had been raining for the week before it so we were expecting it to be a muddy mess, but when we arrived we were greeted by a metal plate car park, which was nice. The walk to the start round the edge of the carpark was equally well protected with that hexagonal matting so muddy boots were not required.
In the same way as the other events like this we've been too, its difficult to capture the magic (especially on a mobile phone) so there's only a few pictures. But if you like a lit up winter walk, I recommend visiting. It's running until 31st December. Northern Lights Website.
Thoughts
We all enjoyed the event. Half way round the trail there's a seating area with a bar, some loos, hot chocolate stalls and fire pits for roasting marshmallows. Amazed me how many people have got no idea how to toast a marshmallow (there is a correct way, it's my way and putting it in a flame until it sets on fire is not the correct way).There's four slots - Super Off Peak, Off Peak, Standard & Peak. I don't remember what our slot was classed as, it was Sunday night, and it wasn't mega busy. The site is big enough to eat a decent size crowd and there's enough space between installations to give you plenty of time to wander about as you feel.
