TICKETS are on sale for a special festival returning for its ninth outing.

The Mind, Body and Spirit Festival is coming back to Colchester next month.

More than 60 exhibitors will be on hand this year, as there will be a plethora of activities for attendees to enjoy.

There will be taster treatments, shamanic healing and readings, as well as workshops and talks including sound and meditation journey, a mediumship demonstration and information on how to balance spirituality with normal life.

On top of this there is also food and drink and live music on both days.

Festival organiser Chris Cozens said: “As our lives have become increasingly busy and pressurised, we all need to find new ways to destress and to unwind.

“We offer people the space and time to relax and find peace within their increasingly busy lives.

“We have over 60 amazing exhibitors this year and you’ll also be helping to raise money for Helen Rollason Cancer Charity.”

The event is on October 15 to 16, from 10am to 4pm at Marks Tey Parish Hall in Colchester.

Tickets can be purchased at lifearts.co.uk or on the door. Entry is free for under-16s.
