THE Northern Lights may not have been visible in Bolton but hundreds still enjoyed a dazzling light show in one of Bolton's most stunning locations.
Rivington Terraced Gardens Festival of Lights shone a spectacular spotlight on the restoration of the historical home and land belonging to Lord Leverhulme.
The two day festival was organised to celebrate the opening of part of the gardens, which have undergone a multi-million pound transformation, including the opening of the landmark Pigeon Tower to the public.
Tickets for the event sold out in record time and 1,600 people attended during the event.
Charlene Bessell, event organiser, said: "This is the very first light festival at Rivington, we just wanted to celebrate the opening of this area of the gardens and we thought how better to light up the structures which have been restored and rebuilt.
"It about celebrating the area is going to be back open after about seven months, and it is about lighting up the features and having a party to celebrate, we have missed this part of the garden too.
"As volunteers we have been making it beautiful for people."
