Experience the Joy of Silent Disco Hiking: A Unique Outdoor Adventure Awaits!
This June, the Sunnywood Project is bringing a delightful twist to outdoor activities with its return of silent disco hikes at Holcombe Moor. This innovative event combines the joy of hiking with the thrill of a dance party, all set against the stunning backdrop of nature.
A Celebration of Community and Nature
For over six years, the Sunnywood Project has been dedicated to enriching the lives of young people and the community through outdoor experiences. By promoting health, wellbeing, and connection with nature, they have created a platform where community spirit thrives through adventures in the great outdoors.
The silent disco hike allows participants to socialize and exercise in a unique environment, offering an alternative to traditional nightlife. As organizer Marc Young notes, “It’s something different. They’re getting fresh air and exercise; they’re having a dance in the middle of nowhere while the sun’s setting behind them.” These hikes not only offer physical benefits but also foster emotional wellbeing.
Engagement and Excitement
The upcoming silent disco hike on June 13 promises to be a highlight of the season, with participants provided with headsets and glow sticks, transforming the moors into a vibrant party scene. With three music channels featuring everything from cheesy pop to rock classics, there is something for everyone to enjoy. This inclusivity enhances the experience, making it accessible to a wide demographic.
Marc mentions that the event creates a safe space for people to express themselves without fear of judgment. As participants engage in the hike, they soon find themselves waving glow sticks and enjoying the liberating sense of community and shared experience.
Looking Ahead
The future looks bright for the Sunnywood Project, as they continue to expand their offerings and collaborate with local organizations such as Bury Council. In addition to the popular silent disco hikes, they are launching events tailored for schools and larger festivals, ensuring that the spirit of adventure and community remains alive for all ages.
As the sunsets of summer approach, now is the perfect time to participate in these silent disco hikes and experience the transformational power of nature and music. The event scheduled for June 13 begins at 6 PM at the Lumb Carr Road car park in Ramsbottom, with tickets available on the Sunnywood Project’s website.
