The light tree celebration
What a beautiful evening teaching the origins of Bhangra and some dance moves. Opportunity to experience nature and story though cinema, visual Sences and touch. Darnall Allotment Project we’re juicing apples and pears- delicious and the fish heads were amazing musicians. Culminated in a parade, an amazing meal and watching the 100th light come in along the canal at Victoria Quays. Just beautiful.
Info from the bare project. The Bare Project
The Light Tree Celebrations is a festival held in honour of a strange and magnificent tree that once grew on the Sheffield Canal. Maybe the existence of the tree is just a rumour, or the fever dream of an old boat-builder, or maybe it was really there. Whatever the truth is, we’re celebrating. Prepare to be pleasantly dazzled.
This celebration event marks the end of a three year project, led by The Bare Project and commissioned by the Canal and River Trust. The Bare Project have led creative arts, food, and permaculture activities, working with communities in Darnall, Attercliffe, Tinsley and the Wicker – neighbourhoods which sit alongside the Sheffield-Tinsley canal. The national project is called Into The Hinterlands, a national arts programme delivered by the Canal and River Trust in collaboration with regional partners, promoting wellbeing and connecting communities, with participatory events along three remote rural, urban and suburban waterways: Pontymoile, Sheffield and Enfield & Tottenham.
This project has also received support from The Talbot Trusts, the Darnall Area Trust Fund and Arts Council England.
