IMPRESSIVE . . . fire eater Craig Batchelor
MORE than £6,600 has been raised for charity after a night of fiery entertainment.
Brave volunteers walked bare-foot across hot coals at Oldham Rugby Union Club in Bardsley to support mental health and well-being services in the borough.
Around 200 well-wishers watched on as the firewalk took place in aid of Tameside, Oldham and Glossop Mind.
A fire eater also took centre stage at the event while visitors had the opportunity to take part in face painting and a children's lantern workshop.
