ORGANISERS of a psychic fair could not predict the weather as the hot temperatures led to a low turnout for the event.

The Mind Body Spirit Event took place on Saturday at the Swindon Arts Centre, with people who wanted to get in touch with their spiritual side turning up for readings.

There were a variety of stalls, healers, readers at the event from tarot readers to astrology readers.

Medium Jo Lister, 43, was at the fair to read tarot cards and life readings.

She said: “Psychic fairs have become quite popular and there has been an increase in the number of fairs.

“This fair is good because of the different readers we have here which attracts more people to come along and see what is going on.

“I have my own clients come along but also we have people drop in.

“The turn out today has been slightly smaller than expected but there has been a steady stream of people.

“What I find is people find it helpful to talk about what has happened and it can be re-assuring talking to a medium.

“We are almost like a counselling service with many people who have lost somebody coming to us to try and get some closure.”
