[...] This independent community arts and music festival offers seven stages of music, from a DJ tent powered by local lads Sequoia Sound System, to acoustic sets by the super-cool Red House pub, and a pedal-powered sound system. Don’t miss live graffiti art, a pop-up cinema and a Guinness World Records attempt for the most number of children being read a story. You’ll find heaps of craft, a vintage tea tent and a local ale bar. Started in 2003 as a protest against the Iraq war, it’s a charity fundraiser with a relaxed atmosphere.• Free, noon-8pm, the Ponderosa, Netherthorpe, peaceinthepark.org.uk [...]
hi im interested in getting involved?
how can I get involved?
and whats the possibility of holding a stall on the day
thanks
If you want to help on the day, then, despite it being very close to the event, stewards@peaceinthepark.org.uk would love to hear from you. If it is a stall, then stalls@peaceinthepark.org.uk is what you want (but note that there is very little space left at this late stage).
I’m really looking forward to this event, I’ve heard on the grapevine its pretty cool, but I’m unsure where exactly its taking place as I’m not familiar with the area, would it be possible create a page with maybe a map and some directions on how to get there by car ad public tranport? I know quite a few people have had a similar problem with finding the location x
Hope to make it down on the day but if not have a wicked day and well done on your 8th year !

Hi can we bring our own camping BBQ stands or is it against regulations?
Barbecues are fine in the park, as long as they are raised off the ground.
For full guidelines from the council, please see here: http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/out–about/parks-woodlands–countryside/parks/events/events–activities/barbecues-in-parks
Great Festival. We are trying to find the name of the singer/guitarist that was on around 6 o’clock in the little tent near the trapeze ropes and the tea tent. He was wearing a blue shirt and did a really good set. Does anyone know what he is called?
