Lambeth Bennett Presents
This is not a market. This is not a psychic fair.
Be The Light Festival is a curated wellbeing experience — designed to awaken, ground and realign the people who walk through.
What We Stand For
Everything at Be The Light Festival is built around three interconnected areas of human wellbeing. Not trends. Not performance. Real, practical tools for real lives.
Awaken.
Meditation. Mindset. Breathwork. Coaching. Spirituality. Personal growth. Purpose. Creating space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Ground.
Natural health. Herbal medicine. Indigenous wisdom. Nutrition. Movement. Sustainable wellbeing. Timeless knowledge, applied to modern life.
Realign.
Brain health. Nervous system regulation. Burnout recovery. Emotional resilience. Dementia awareness. Practical wellbeing for the challenges people face today.
Every person who walks through our entry deserves to leave with increased awareness, practical tools, new connections — and hope.

Formerly the Psychic & Alternative Fair
Our Story
What began as a small alternative fair in 1998 has become one of the Central Coast's most meaningful community wellbeing events. This is the story of a family, a calling, and a community that kept showing up.
The Journey
1998
Lambeth Bennett founded the Psychic & Alternative Fair at Mingara Club on the Central Coast, NSW. A community gathered around curiosity, healing and connection.
25 years
More than two decades of community impact — readers, healers, educators, and thousands of people finding something they didn't know they needed.
2021
Lambeth's personal journey with dementia paused the event. A season of rest, grief and reflection for the whole family.
2022
Hoana Bennett relaunched the event — keeping the heart of what her husband built while opening a new chapter.
2026
Shayne Bennett steps into the role of Event Director, leading a new chapter for Be The Light Festival. With a renewed vision, the festival now focuses on consciousness, earth medicine, cognitive health, and building stronger communities.
Why We Exist
To create experiences that help people awaken, ground and realign — through practical wellbeing, education and community connection.
To become Australia's most respected community-based consciousness, wellbeing and cognitive wellbeing festival.
The direction of this festival has been shaped by Shayne's recovery from burnout and the mental health challenges that came with that, his volunteer work with the not for profit organisation Talk2MeBro, and watching his father navigate dementia. This is not a business idea. This is lived experience — turned into something that can help others.
Core Values
We treat every person with dignity, openness, and kindness. We honour different beliefs, experiences, and pathways without judgment.
We lead with compassion, connection, and care. We create spaces where people feel safe, supported, and seen.
We encourage people to show up as they are. We value honesty, integrity, and living in alignment with your true self.
Become an Exhibitor
Every exhibitor at Be The Light Festival is chosen for one reason: the real impact they have on people's lives. If that's you, we want to hear from you.
"Every exhibitor should contribute to visitor transformation. We give preference to practitioners, educators, coaches and organisations who leave people better than they found them."
Ideal Exhibitors
We welcome practitioners, facilitators, educators, community organisations and wellness businesses aligned with our three pillars: Consciousness, Earth Medicine and Cognitive Health.
Applications
Exhibitor enquiries are welcome. We'll review your application and reach out if there's an aligned fit for the next event.
