Fright Night Halloween Carnival

Ghosts, witches, wizards and zombies in their thousands took to the streets of Sheffield for the annual Fright Night festival. There was a carnival atmosphere as the city centre was transformed into terrifying tourist attraction for the annual Halloween carnival. Among the attractions were a fancy dress catwalk, urban dance, shopping trolley zombie grannies, a monster in the fountain, a spooky ghost ship, Star Wars Stormtroopers, Uncle Fest on his moving piano, a voodoo New Orleans jazz band and the usual funfair rides and stalls.

Sharrow Lantern Carnival

Sharrow Lantern Carnival on the 1st of April is a truly magical experience where thousands of people join together to parade their beautiful colourful lanterns and fill the night skies with a spectrum of coloured light, samba bands playing, fire blowers, performers and jugglers, starting the voyage at Mount Pleasant Park and ending up in the Sheffield’s General Cemetery where the celebrations take place with live music and fire spinners. This year's theme was "magic".
