About

The Healing Alternatives Festival in Ilkley is the latest incarnation of a long-standing mind body spirit event at The Kings Hall and Winter Garden. For many years the town played host to Ilkley Complementary Medicine Festival which was a major event in the Northern MBS calendar. Set against the incredible backdrop of Ilkley Moor, the town also has a history as a Spa Town - place of healing, relaxation and rejuvenation. The festival venue is a beautiful historic setting conveniently located opposite the train and bus station.

This vibrant event has three elements

1. Exhibitors and retail - come along and browse some of our stands or book a holistic therapy taster - there’s lots of choose from. Or book a consultation with a reader or a psychic medium. We have beautiful retail including books, gifts, jewellery, natural skincare, cosmetics, crystals and much more.

2.  Short Workshops - attend as many short workshops as you like over the weekend with your Premier Ticket - a sound bath, a meditation, breathwork, a dance or yoga workshop or maybe you'd like to learn about astrology or Bowen technique.

3.  VIP  Experience - SPOTLIGHT Workshops. For a more in-depth experience, our VIP ticket gives you just that with access to our exclusive extended spotlight workshops as well as access to all our short workshops and to the whole event.

Tailor your experience to suit your preferences. Give yourself a reset this autumn.
