"Heanor Wakes"-I think the festival was still being held in 30's/40's - but as with many things, the meaning of the "Wakes" and the religious ceremonies was lost somewhere along the line, and the festival became just a Funfair, however in 50's /60's and possibly later "Heanor fair" was known locally as "Heanor Wakes"-we would always refer to the "Wakes" never the "Fair"
