Experience Nature and Joy: The Return of Silent Disco Hikes in Bury!
The Sunnywood Project is bringing a unique outdoor experience back to Holcombe Moor with their silent disco hikes, set to return on June 13. These events combine the joy of dancing with the beauty of nature, offering a fun and healthy alternative to traditional social outings.
A Community Initiative
Founded six years ago, the Sunnywood Project is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enriching lives through outdoor experiences. Their endeavors include hiking expeditions and community-driven events, aimed at engaging young people and local residents alike. The silent disco hikes have become particularly popular, attracting individuals who seek a different social experience away from the typical nightlife scene.
The Joy of Dancing in Nature
Organiser Marc Young notes that these hikes not only provide physical activity but also a remarkable atmosphere. Participants enjoy a hike under the setting sun, complete with headsets that allow them to dance to their favorite tunes in the great outdoors. "It’s a real feel-good opportunity for people to get involved and do something a little different," he emphasizes.
Growing Popularity
The popularity of these events has grown immensely, with participants expressing delight in the variety of music channels available, ranging from nostalgic 90s hits to contemporary hits. Young mentions the excitement of battling for attention on the different channels, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.
Upcoming Events and Community Impact
Beyond the silent disco hikes for adults, the Sunnywood Project also caters to younger audiences with special events in primary schools. This inclusive approach reflects their commitment to promoting health and well-being through outdoor activities.
On the horizon, larger community events like "Let’s Do Light Night" in Burrs Country Park are set to take place, further amplifying their mission of getting people active and engaged with nature.
Join the next silent disco hike on June 13 at Holcombe Moor for an unforgettable evening combined with breathtaking views and uplifting music!
