Nickys Noo Noos began over 20 years ago after a trip to India. Arriving in the Himalayas in early

March with no suitable clothing and almost getting hypothermia, Nicky purchased her first blanket and it saved her life!

When her daughter Ruby called her blanket a noo noo as a small child, Nicky knew that we all needed a noo noo regardless of age or gender.

After 15 years selling hugs and noo noos at festivals and helping to keep people warm in their tents she now has an online presence.

The beauty of the noo noo is it will last a lifetime, stays bright forever and is the warmest most thermal fabric. It not only looks beautiful but is high functioning with many uses.

And every noo noo comes with a hug!! x

In music, Heather Findlay is known for her award winning songwriting, her magical, evocative voice and an ability to interpret and inhabit a range of styles with a mix of power and feeling and is regarded in the industry as one of the finest vocalists working in music today.

"One of the UK's most established and accomplished female vocalists of our time" - lan Anderson (Jethro Tull)

Heather studied reiki and gained a master teacher qualification in 2014. This was followed by a deeply immersive journey with Kriya Yoga in the decade that followed, becoming a certified teacher in 2018. Though not actively teaching either, Heather applies the experiences and life lessons to the music, art and books she has created along the way.

This is seen most prominently throughout her most recent and forthcoming album, Wildflower, where she strips it all back, pouring her heart into each authentic note.

"Flowing with life and bowing to the muse, Wildflower has seemingly become a compendium of

outer, to the dark, to the light, to animals, to nature and to our beautiful sky sailors of inspiration, the birds" ~ Heather

Heather is on tour throughout the UK this year AB's will perform as the character 'Love' in the Sold Out Ayreon 30th Anniversary shows in Netherlands this September.

Catherine Deans held the space to  invite the younger attendees to enjoy the Snouffles creative  mindful stories. These stories help all children to develop resilience through learning about thoughts, feelings and behaviour. They are especially helpful to children who experience any of the issues that the Snouffles experience in the stories.
 

This includes children who often

• Feel angry and hurt
• Experience difficulties coping with making ‘mistakes’
• Feel stupid or embarrassed
• Feel different
• Misunderstand other people’s behaviour
• Experience a lot of judgement or fear judgement
• Are afraid of getting it ‘wrong’
• Get left out
• Feel lonely
• Have low self esteem, or don’t feel like they are good enough

They are most suitable for children aged 6 – 10 years, although older children and adults have expressed love and appreciation of the stories too.
