Sharrow’s first ever ‘Lantern Carnival’ is upon us.

A river of light will weave it’s way from Mount Pleasant Park at 7.00pm and arrive in the General Cemetery (near Cemetary Road, (suprise!) for a grand finale of live music, performance and surprises. the Samba band will also be in attendance. Originally scheduled last Sunday to commerate one year since the War in Iraq, the Spring Equinox, Mothers Day, World Anti racism day and the launch of the Sheffield Social Forum it will be a truly wonderful event.

Over a hundred children from Porter Croft junior School have made lanterns.
Expect to see illuminated jumping jacks, pedal powered trike’s with glowing trees growing from them, mother goddess’s, gleaming sharks, shining cows, and a shoal of fiery fish!
