Immediately
on the left you'll see the Hands On tent where you can revitalize with
a massage lasting anywhere between 10 minutes and half an hour thanks
to the magic fingers of Bristol masseuses Sally Clements and Janette Briggs.
Sally and
Janette who usually work from their salon in Bedminster, have more than
15 years of massaging experience between them and can offer Indian head
massage, aromatherapy, reiki and reflexology to weary festival-goers.
Just be prepared to float away afterwards.
Wandering
gorillas
"It's
absolute bliss," new mum Sammy said with a huge smile after a 10
minute massage. And,
as a trained masseuse herself, she should know!
Once you're
feeling human again Heaven has plenty lined up throughout the weekend
to keep children of all ages very happy.
There are
workshops where creative little ones can make a unique framed foam mosaic
to take home.
If that's
all a bit much they can design their own flag and head into the magical
labyrinth while you kick back with a cold one and keep an eye on how they're
doing by flag watching - ingenious.
Make a date
to catch the Caribbean Melody Steel Band performing a mixture of pop,
reggae, rhythm and blues, soca and calypso.
Then, depending
on how brave you're feeling why not cuddle a tarantula or encounter a
snake and find out why it can't swallow its food whole.
Bristol
Zoo's Animal Encounters is hoping to help lots of you overcome your phobias
and learn about wildlife conservation.
You can also
join the community drum circle with Hum-Drum-Strum, or shake
your booty and share your rhythmical spirit with the Hype Dance Company
on Friday and Saturday afternoon.
One of the
highlights, however has got to be the first Fiesta outing for the gorillas
- despite appearances, they aren't real gorillas, but actors mimicking
the animals.
They'll be
roaming about the area looking for people to interact with. (In case you
are wondering the characteristics and natural behaviour are those of the
real thing).
Not exactly
what you may expect to find in Heaven but that just goes to show, it's
a little gem of an area worth seeking out.
