Slaithwaite Moonshine Festival of Light

Shining with Creative Positivity

Moonshine Resources

In the years where we aren’t able to hold a full Moonraking Festival, “Moonshine” helps to keep the spirit alive.  Residents make their own illuminated picture windows, turning the whole village into an outdoor art gallery. A map guides visitors around all corners of Slaithwaite to discover the creativity of local people.
