>> Light Night Sheffield 2014
>> 
>> 23rd November 2014; Sheffield City Centre; 1pm - 8pm
>> 
>> Join us on the day of the official city Christmas lights switch on for a creative experience to remember! Shining a light on our artists, performers, musicians and creatives, city centre venues will be brought to life, and opened up for you to explore. Exhibitions, performances, workshops and activities will aim to ignite your imaginations and encourage you to discover our city centre in a new light through creativity. We want to unlock the doors of spaces we don’t ordinarily get to see, animate places in a completely new way and celebrate what Sheffield has to offer for all ages. This is a small event, complementing the activities taking place in the city centre for the Light Switch on, for which the Sheffield City Council expect 30,000 people. We had a huge response from artists wanting to get involved. We are still looking for volunteer stewards to help us on the day of Light Night. More information can be found on our Volunteer page.
